The Secret Pool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCADEEFFDGHHIIGJK KLLM| I KNOW a pool unknown to men | A |
| Whose green and shadowed secrecy | B |
| I share alone with bird and tree | B |
| And there when I am sick at heart | C |
| And ill at ease I draw apart | C |
| To bathe and live and love again | A |
| All Summertide and all Spring through | D |
| In its charmed neighbourhood the thrush | E |
| And magpie in the dying blush | E |
| Of sunset and the green of dawn | F |
| Now nigh and now in aisles withdrawn | F |
| Make melody each day anew | D |
| And all night long the curious stars | G |
| Through peepholes in its dome of leaves | H |
| Peer down on it while Silence weaves | H |
| A lovely spell a magic calm | I |
| That soothes the soul like healing balm | I |
| And breathes a peace that nothing mars | G |
| Ah sweet indeed it is to lave | J |
| And lose oneself within the cool | K |
| Soft presence of that forest pool | K |
| Whose sacramental peace is such | L |
| That flesh and spirit at its touch | L |
| The sleep of little children have | M |
