The Ultimate Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGDD HHGGCCDD I| I 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 |
