Natural Magic. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGDHDIJKJIJGJ DJIJGLILMNJN| I have put by the schoolmen | A |
| The seeming great and sage | B |
| Nor will I taste the vintage | C |
| Brewed in the vats of Age | B |
| But I will sip the dewdrops | D |
| On the lily's leaves unfurl'd | E |
| And list the wild birds warble | F |
| The wisdom of the world | E |
| But this shall be my learning | G |
| Whate'er the pundit knows | D |
| Has the dust of doubt upon it | H |
| As to the grave it goes | D |
| The truths that I would gather | I |
| Are different in kind | J |
| Touched with a natural magic | K |
| No artifice can find | J |
| Ere time a weird wild creature | I |
| Had been ensnared and thrall'd | J |
| By any human meaning | G |
| The gods in thunder call'd | J |
| Among the heights and hollows | D |
| Like syllables that sent | J |
| Into the moods of Nature | I |
| Aerial wonderment | J |
| And this shall be my learning | G |
| And to this tune I'll grow | L |
| As to a magic rarer | I |
| Than all the schoolmen know | L |
| Within the ways that hint of | M |
| The heathen joys that roam | N |
| The simple things that come to | J |
| The heart and find a home | N |
