Before Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBA BCBBCB| Come in this hour to set my spirit free | A |
| When earth is no more mine though night goes out | B |
| And stretching forth these arms I cannot be | A |
| Lord of winged sunrise and dim Arcady | B |
| When fieldward boys far off with clack and shout | B |
| From orchards scare the birds in sudden rout | B |
| Come ere my heart grows cold and full of doubt | B |
| In the still summer dawns that waken me | A |
| - | |
| When the first lark goes up to look for day | B |
| And morning glimmers out of dreams come then | C |
| Out of the songless valleys over grey | B |
| Wide misty lands to bring me on my way | B |
| For I am lone a dweller among men | C |
| Hungered for what my heart shall never say | B |
