Stray Seed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDAEEFFGGHHIIJJ JJ| A far look in absorbed eyes unaware | A |
| Of what some gazer thrills to gather there | A |
| Happy voice singing to itself apart | B |
| That pulses new blood through a listener's heart | B |
| Bowed fortitude and in an hour of dread | C |
| The scorn of all odds in a proud young head | C |
| These are themselves and being but what they are | D |
| Of others' praise or pity have no care | A |
| Yet still are magnets to an unknown need | E |
| Invisible as the wind sowing stray seed | E |
| Life breathes on life ignorant what it brings | F |
| And spirit touches spirit on the strings | F |
| Where music is courage from courage glows | G |
| Shy powers in secret to themselves unclose | G |
| And unbefriended hope in the cold dark | H |
| Nursing its patient solitary spark | H |
| Among the ashes of a world to day | I |
| Will be to morrow kindled far away | I |
| In young bosoms O we have failed and failed | J |
| And never known if we or the world ailed | J |
| Clouded and thwarted yet perhaps the best | J |
| Of all we have done and dreamed of lives unguessed | J |
