Pacchiarotto - Prologue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FAFA AAAA GHGH IJIJOh the old wall here How I could pass | A |
Life in a long midsummer day | B |
My feet confined to a plot of grass | A |
My eyes from a wall not once away | B |
- | |
And lush and lithe do the creepers clothe | C |
Yon wall I watch with a wealth of green | D |
Its bald red bricks draped nothing loth | E |
In lappets of tangle they laugh between | D |
- | |
Now what is it makes pulsate the robe | F |
Why tremble the sprays What life o'er brims | A |
The body the house no eye can probe | F |
Divined as beneath a robe the limbs | A |
- | |
And there again But my heart may guess | A |
Who tripped behind and she sang perhaps | A |
So the old wall throbbed and its life's excess | A |
Died out and away in the leafy wraps | A |
- | |
Wall upon wall are between us life | G |
And song should away from heart to heart | H |
I prison bird with a ruddy strife | G |
At breast and a lip whence storm notes start | H |
- | |
Hold on hope hard in the subtle thing | I |
That's spirit though cloistered fast soar free | J |
Account as wood brick stone this ring | I |
Of the rueful neighbors and forth to thee | J |
