On A Discovered Curl Of Hair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCC DDEE FFGGAA C| When your soft welcomings were said | A |
| This curl was waving on your head | A |
| And when we walked where breakers dinned | A |
| It sported in the sun and wind | A |
| And when I had won your words of grace | B |
| It brushed and clung about my face | B |
| Then to abate the misery | C |
| Of absentness you gave it me | C |
| - | |
| Where are its fellows now Ah they | D |
| For brightest brown have donned a gray | D |
| And gone into a caverned ark | E |
| Ever unopened always dark | E |
| - | |
| Yet this one curl untouched of time | F |
| Beams with live brown as in its prime | F |
| So that it seems I even could now | G |
| Restore it to the living brow | G |
| By bearing down the western road | A |
| Till I had reached your old abode | A |
| - | |
| February | C |
