Companions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHIJAKELIMNOP QOORSQTT| The bread that's broken when we eat together | A |
| Tastes sweet A sunbeam stealing to your hand | B |
| Seems as if spilled from something brimming over | A |
| Within me wanting no word or itself | C |
| The word I wanted Find we not our own | D |
| Language in winds fresh from a golden place | E |
| When breasting the high down at last we turn | F |
| To each other bright with rapturous escape | G |
| And the hills sing together like our hearts | H |
| Lost in the light Between us as we walk | I |
| Green roadsides under homely hedgerow elms | J |
| Of summer leaf silences are as water | A |
| Smooth for the sail and shining to the verge | K |
| But intimate as a hand's touch when we pace | E |
| Long crowded pavements amber lamped in dusk | L |
| That holds its dark breath over the gay talk | I |
| Bright eyes and grief buried in moving sound | M |
| There is a secret colour that has dyed | N |
| The world within our hearts none knows it else | O |
| No more than that which thickens the flushed light | P |
| Deep in the foxglove's honey throat it is there | Q |
| In the midst of light speech and forgetfulness | O |
| In the empty house of absence where the walls | O |
| Echo other voices it is in the midst | R |
| Of the unsaid fears the mind plots forts against | S |
| In the dragging thought and drizzle of blank care | Q |
| The daily doing of what must be done | T |
| Then suddenly it glows and bathes us like the sun | T |
