Awake To Smile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGFGF HIHIFHFHWhen I blink sunshine in my eyes | A |
And hail the amber morn | B |
Before the rosy dew drop dries | A |
With sparkle on the thorn | B |
When boughs with robin rapture ring | C |
And bees hum in the may | D |
Then call me young with heart of Spring | C |
Though I be grey | D |
- | |
But when no more I know the joy | E |
And urgence of that hour | F |
As like a happy hearted boy | E |
I leap to land aflower | F |
When gusto I no longer feel | G |
To rouse with glad hooray | F |
Then call me old and let me steal | G |
From men away | F |
- | |
Let me awaken with a smile | H |
And go to garden glee | I |
For there is such a little while | H |
Of living left to me | I |
But when star wist I frail away | F |
Lord let the hope beguile | H |
That to Ecstatic Light I may | F |
Awake to smile | H |
