The Ultimate Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGDD HHGGCCDD II have felt the thrill of passion in the poet's mystic book | A |
And I've lingered in delight to catch the rhythm of the brook | A |
I've felt the ecstasy that comes when prima donnas reach | B |
For upper C and hold it in a long melodious screech | B |
And yet the charm of all these blissful memories fades away | C |
As I think upon the fortune that befell the other day | C |
As I bring to recollection with a joyous wistful sigh | D |
That I woke and felt the need of extra covers in July | D |
- | |
Oh eerie hour of drowsiness 'twas like a fairy spell | E |
That respite from the terrors we have known alas so well | E |
The malevolent mosquito with a limp and idle bill | F |
Hung supinely from the ceiling all exhausted by his chill | F |
And the early morning sunbeam lost his customary leer | G |
And brought a gracious greeting and a prophecy of cheer | G |
A generous affability reached up from earth to sky | D |
When I woke and felt the need of extra covers in July | D |
- | |
In every life there comes a time of happiness supreme | H |
When joy becomes reality and not a glittering dream | H |
'Tis less appreciated but it's worth a great deal more | G |
Than tides which taken at their flood lead on to fortune's shore | G |
How vain is Art's illusion and how potent Nature's sway | C |
When once in kindly mood she deigns to waft our woes away | C |
And the memory will cheer me though all other pleasures fly | D |
Of how I woke and needed extra covers in July | D |
