Town And Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHJ KLKL MNMO PQPQ RSTS| Here where love's stuff is body arm and side | A |
| Are stabbing sweet 'gainst chair and lamp and wall | B |
| In every touch more intimate meanings hide | A |
| And flaming brains are the white heart of all | B |
| - | |
| Here million pulses to one centre beat | C |
| Closed in by men's vast friendliness alone | D |
| Two can be drunk with solitude and meet | C |
| On the sheer point where sense with knowing's one | E |
| - | |
| Here the green purple clanging royal night | F |
| And the straight lines and silent walls of town | G |
| And roar and glare and dust and myriad white | F |
| Undying passers pinnacle and crown | G |
| - | |
| Intensest heavens between close lying faces | H |
| By the lamp's airless fierce ecstatic fire | I |
| And we've found love in little hidden places | H |
| Under great shades between the mist and mire | J |
| - | |
| Stay though the woods are quiet and you've heard | K |
| Night creep along the hedges Never go | L |
| Where tangled foliage shrouds the crying bird | K |
| And the remote winds sigh and waters flow | L |
| - | |
| Lest as our words fall dumb on windless noons | M |
| Or hearts grow hushed and solitary beneath | N |
| Unheeding stars and unfamiliar moons | M |
| Or boughs bend over close and quiet as death | O |
| - | |
| Unconscious and unpassionate and still | P |
| Cloud like we lean and stare as bright leaves stare | Q |
| And gradually along the stranger hill | P |
| Our unwalled loves thin out on vacuous air | Q |
| - | |
| And suddenly there's no meaning in our kiss | R |
| And your lit upward face grows where we lie | S |
| Lonelier and dreadfuller than sunlight is | T |
| And dumb and mad and eyeless like the sky | S |
