Fable Of The Rhododendron Stealers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFDG HDDD IJDJ DKDL MCNO PQRQ| I walked the unwalked garden of rose beds | A |
| In the public park at home felt the want | B |
| Of a single rose present to imagine | C |
| The garden's remainder in full paint | D |
| - | |
| The stone lion head set in the wall | E |
| Let drop its spittle of sluggish green | F |
| Into the stone basin I snipped | D |
| An orange bud pocketed it When | G |
| - | |
| It had opened its orange in my vase | H |
| Retrogressed to blowze I next chose red | D |
| Argued my conscience clear which robbed | D |
| The park of less red than withering did | D |
| - | |
| Musk satisfied my nose red my eye | I |
| The petals' nap my fingertips | J |
| I considered the poetry I rescued | D |
| From blind air from complete eclipse | J |
| - | |
| Yet today a yellow bud in my hand | D |
| I stalled at sudden noisy crashes | K |
| From the laurel thicket No one approached | D |
| A spasm took the rhododendron bushes | L |
| - | |
| Three girls engrossed were wrenching full clusters | M |
| Of cerise and pink from the rhododendron | C |
| Mountaining them on spread newspaper | N |
| They brassily picked slowed by no chagrin | O |
| - | |
| And wouldn't pause for my straight look | P |
| But gave me pause my rose a charge | Q |
| Whether nicety stood confounded by love | R |
| Or petty thievery by large | Q |
