Butterflies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| Frail Travellers deftly flickering over the flowers | A |
| O living flowers against the heedless blue | B |
| Of summer days what sends them dancing through | B |
| This fiery blossom'd revel of the hours | A |
| - | |
| Theirs are the musing silences between | C |
| The enraptured crying of shrill birds that make | D |
| Heaven in the wood while summer dawns awake | D |
| And theirs the faintest winds that hush the green | C |
| - | |
| And they are as my soul that wings its way | E |
| Out of the starlit dimness into morn | F |
| And they are as my tremulous being born | F |
| To know but this the phantom glare of day | E |
