The Answer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFD GHBIJKLIWhen I go back to earth | A |
And all my joyous body | B |
Puts off the red and white | C |
That once had been so proud | D |
If men should pass above | E |
With false and feeble pity | B |
My dust will find a voice | F |
To answer them aloud | D |
- | |
Be still I am content | G |
Take back your poor compassion | H |
Joy was a flame in me | B |
Too steady to destroy | I |
Lithe as a bending reed | J |
Loving the storm that sways her | K |
I found more joy in sorrow | L |
Than you could find in joy | I |
