Flight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABC DEDFG HDHID JKJKK LMNMM OPOPQ DRDRR| Voices out of the shade that cried | A |
| And long noon in the hot calm places | B |
| And children's play by the wayside | A |
| And country eyes and quiet faces | B |
| All these were round my steady paces | C |
| - | |
| Those that I could have loved went by me | D |
| Cool gardened homes slept in the sun | E |
| I heard the whisper of water nigh me | D |
| Saw hands that beckoned shone were gone | F |
| In the green and gold And I went on | G |
| - | |
| For if my echoing footfall slept | H |
| Soon a far whispering there'd be | D |
| Of a little lonely wind that crept | H |
| From tree to tree and distantly | I |
| Followed me followed me | D |
| - | |
| But the blue vaporous end of day | J |
| Brought peace and pursuit baffled quite | K |
| Where between pine woods dipped the way | J |
| I turned slipped in and out of sight | K |
| I trod as quiet as the night | K |
| - | |
| The pine boles kept perpetual hush | L |
| And in the boughs wind never swirled | M |
| I found a flowering lowly bush | N |
| And bowed slid in and sighed and curled | M |
| Hidden at rest from all the world | M |
| - | |
| Safe I was safe and glad I knew | O |
| Yet with cold heart and cold wet brows | P |
| I lay And the dark fell There grew | O |
| Meward a sound of shaken boughs | P |
| And ceased above my intricate house | Q |
| - | |
| And silence silence silence found me | D |
| I felt the unfaltering movement creep | R |
| Among the leaves They shed around me | D |
| Calm clouds of scent that I did weep | R |
| And stroked my face I fell asleep | R |
