Flute Notes From A Reedy Pond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CADD EFEE AGAA AHAA| Now coldness comes sifting down layer after layer | A |
| To our bower at the lily root | B |
| Overhead the old umbrellas of summer | A |
| Wither like pithless hands There is little shelter | A |
| - | |
| Hourly the eye of the sky enlarges its blank | C |
| Dominion The stars are no nearer | A |
| Already frog mouth and fish mouth drink | D |
| The liquor of indolence and all thing sink | D |
| - | |
| Into a soft caul of forgetfulness | E |
| The fugitive colors die | F |
| Caddis worms drowse in their silk cases | E |
| The lamp headed nymphs are nodding to sleep like statues | E |
| - | |
| Puppets loosed from the strings of the puppetmaster | A |
| Wear masks of horn to bed | G |
| This is not death it is something safer | A |
| The wingy myths won't tug at us anymore | A |
| - | |
| The molts are tongueless that sang from above the water | A |
| Of golgotha at the tip of a reed | H |
| And how a god flimsy as a baby's finger | A |
| Shall unhusk himself and steer into the air | A |
