The Maid's Thought Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMANOPQRO SWhy listen even the water is sobbing for something | A |
The west wind is dead the waves | B |
Forget to hate the cliff in the upland canyons | C |
Whole hillsides burst aglow | D |
With golden broom Dear how it rained last month | E |
And every pool was rimmed | F |
With sulphury pollen dust of the wakening pines | G |
Now tall and slender suddenly | H |
The stalks of purple iris blaze by the brooks | I |
The pencilled ones on the hill | J |
This deerweed shivers with gold the white globe tulips | K |
Blow out their silky bubbles | L |
But in the next glen bronze bells nod the does | M |
Scalded by some hot longing | A |
Can hardly set their pointed hoofs to expect | N |
Love but they crush a flower | O |
Shells pair on the rock birds mate the moths fly double | P |
O it Is time for us now | Q |
Mouth kindling mouth to entangle our maiden bodies | R |
To make that burning flower | O |
