An Encounter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADCEDECFGCFHHGIJ KKIJ| Once on the kind of day called weather breeder | A |
| When the heat slowly hazes and the sun | B |
| By its own power seems to be undone | B |
| I was half boring through half climbing through | C |
| A swamp of cedar Choked with oil of cedar | A |
| And scurf of plants and weary and over heated | D |
| And sorry I ever left the road I knew | C |
| I paused and rested on a sort of hook | E |
| That had me by the coat as good as seated | D |
| And since there was no other way to look | E |
| Looked up toward heaven and there against the blue | C |
| Stood over me a resurrected tree | F |
| A tree that had been down and raised again | G |
| A barkless spectre He had halted too | C |
| As if for fear of treading upon me | F |
| I saw the strange position of his hands | H |
| Up at his shoulders dragging yellow strands | H |
| Of wire with something in it from men to men | G |
| You here I said Where aren't you nowadays | I |
| And what's the news you carry if you know | J |
| And tell me where you're off for Montreal | K |
| Me I'm not off for anywhere at all | K |
| Sometimes I wander out of beaten ways | I |
| Half looking for the orchid Calypso | J |
