Busy Heart, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEAA| Now that we've done our best and worst and parted | A |
| I would fill my mind with thoughts that will not rend | A |
| O heart I do not dare go empty hearted | A |
| I'll think of Love in books Love without end | A |
| Women with child content and old men sleeping | B |
| And wet strong ploughlands scarred for certain grain | C |
| And babes that weep and so forget their weeping | B |
| And the young heavens forgetful after rain | C |
| And evening hush broken by homing wings | D |
| And Song's nobility and Wisdom holy | E |
| That live we dead I would think of a thousand things | D |
| Lovely and durable and taste them slowly | E |
| One after one like tasting a sweet food | A |
| I have need to busy my heart with quietude | A |
