Today Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQThis is To day a child in white and blue | A |
Running to meet me out of Night who stilled | B |
The ghost of Yester eve this is fair Morn | C |
The mother of To morrow And these clouds | D |
That chase the sunshine over gleaming hills | E |
Are thoughts delighting in the golden change | F |
And the ceremony of their drifting state | G |
- | |
This is To day To morrow might bring death | H |
And Life the gleeful madrigal of birds | I |
Be drowned in glimmer of sleep To day I know | J |
How sweet it is to spend these eyes and boast | K |
This bubble of vistaed memory and sense | L |
Blown by my joy aloft the glittering airs | M |
Of heavenly peace Oh take me to yourselves | N |
Earth sky and spirit Let me stand within | O |
The circle of your transience that my voice | P |
May thrill the lonely silences with song | Q |
