Inapprehensiveness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCCCCDDDEEFFGG EEHHIIJJKLKCMC| We two stood simply friend like side by side | A |
| Viewing a twilight country far and wide | A |
| Till she at length broke silence How it towers | B |
| Yonder the ruin o'er this vale of ours | B |
| The West's faint flare behind it so relieves | C |
| Its rugged outline sight perhaps deceives | C |
| Or I could almost fancy that I see | C |
| A branch wave plain belike some wind sown tree | C |
| Chance rooted where a missing turret was | C |
| What would I give for the perspective glass | C |
| At home to make out if 'tis really so | C |
| Has Ruskin noticed here at Asolo | D |
| That certain weed growths on the ravaged wall | D |
| Seem something that I could not say at all | D |
| My thought being rather as absorbed she sent | E |
| Look onward after look from eyes distent | E |
| With longing to reach Heaven's gate left ajar | F |
| Oh fancies that might be oh facts that are | F |
| What of a wilding By you stands and may | G |
| So stand unnoticed till the judgment Day | G |
| One who if once aware that your regard | E |
| Claimed what his heart holds woke as from its sward | E |
| The flower the dormant passion so to speak | H |
| Then what a rush of life would startling wreak | H |
| Revenge on your inapprehensive stare | I |
| While from the ruin and the West's faint flare | I |
| You let your eyes meet mine touch what you term | J |
| Quietude that's an universe in germ | J |
| The dormant passion needing but a look | K |
| To burst into immense life | L |
| No the book | K |
| Which noticed how the wall growths wave said she | C |
| Was not by Ruskin | M |
| I said Vernon Lee | C |
