Fortunate Moments Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC CDCDEE FGFGHH IAJAKL| Hast thou not known them too these moments bright | A |
| Rare moments such as came to me but now | B |
| On this clear breezy evening when the light | A |
| Flows through the orchard's tossing leaf and bough | B |
| As though beyond their lifted screen the breeze | C |
| Would open magic visions of the Hesperides | C |
| - | |
| Hast thou not felt a strange arresting sense | C |
| Charm thee with wonder fill thee unaware | D |
| A sense of something come thou know'st not whence | C |
| Invisible new beauty in the air | D |
| Wings in the light or glory in the wind | E |
| Make the heart throb illumine the enchanted mind | E |
| - | |
| Ah what an exaltation of the breast | F |
| Ah what a radiant clearness of the brain | G |
| Easy it seems to find and choose the best | F |
| Thou know'st what thou must do the path is plain | G |
| And read'st the riddles that beset thy soul | H |
| While to purged eyes the mysteries of the world unroll | H |
| - | |
| But O what quick relapse the moment come | I |
| Unrealised departs 'tis faded quite | A |
| Only the garden greets thee of thy home | J |
| Only the green trees wave in the still light | A |
| Again with puzzling brow thou stand'st alone | K |
| With the remembered dream of light and glory gone | L |
