The Cocoon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEFGGHHIIJJ| As far as I can see this autumn haze | A |
| That spreading in the evening air both way | B |
| Makes the new moon look anything but new | C |
| And pours the elm tree meadow full of blue | C |
| Is all the smoke from one poor house alone | D |
| With but one chimney it can call its own | D |
| So close it will not light an early light | E |
| Keeping its life so close and out of sign | F |
| No one for hours has set a foot outdoors | G |
| So much as to take care of evening chores | G |
| The inmates may be lonely women folk | H |
| I want to tell them that with all this smoke | H |
| They prudently are spinning their cocoon | I |
| And anchoring it to an earth and moon | I |
| From which no winter gale can hope to blow it | J |
| Spinning their own cocoon did they but know it | J |
