The Trembling Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KBLB MNOP| On greenest grass the lace of lights | A |
| Beneath the shadowing tree | B |
| Trembles as when eyes more than lips | C |
| Are smiling silently | B |
| - | |
| Its motion all but motionless | D |
| Is like a dancer's feet | E |
| Half stirred half stilled ere music throb | F |
| To float them on its beat | E |
| - | |
| Is it a music ears can hear | G |
| Or in a world so jarred | H |
| With inward wrong is it a sound | I |
| Too happy to be heard | J |
| - | |
| O tell me tell me Could I slip | K |
| The time's perversity | B |
| There would be music in the air | L |
| And I that trembling tree | B |
| - | |
| A spirit smiling to itself | M |
| Seems in those leaves to live | N |
| And for a moment lost in it | O |
| I can this world forgive | P |
