Walnut-leaf Scent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIBJ KLML| In the high leaves of a walnut | A |
| On the very topmost boughs | B |
| A boy that climbed the branching bole | C |
| His cradled limbs would house | D |
| - | |
| On the airy bed that rocked him | E |
| Long idle hours he'd lie | F |
| Alone with white clouds sailing | G |
| The warm blue of the sky | F |

| I remember not what his dreams were | H |
| But the scent of a leaf's enough | I |
| To house me higher than those high boughs | B |
| In a youth he knew not of | J |
| - | |
| In a light that no day brings now | K |
| But none can spoil or smutch | L |
| A magic that I felt not then | M |
| And only now I touch | L |
