Walnut-leaf Scent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIBJ KLMLIn 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 |
