The Genesis Of The Butterfly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAACCDDEEFFGGAAThe dawn is smiling on the dew that covers | A |
The tearful roses lo the little lovers | A |
That kiss the buds and all the flutterings | A |
In jasmine bloom and privet of white wings | A |
That go and come and fly and peep and hide | B |
With muffled music murmured far and wide | B |
Ah the Spring time when we think of all the lays | A |
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays | A |
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound | C |
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound | C |
The messages of love that mortals write | D |
Filled with intoxication of delight | D |
Written in April and before the May time | E |
Shredded and flown playthings for the wind's playtime | E |
We dream that all white butterflies above | F |
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love | F |
And leave their lady mistress in despair | G |
To flit to flowers as kinder and more fair | G |
Are but torn love letters that through the skies | A |
Flutter and float and change to butterflies | A |
