Continual Conversation With A Silent Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAB CDE BFG GHA AGI JKJ| The old brown hen and the old blue sky | A |
| Between the two we live and die | A |
| The broken cartwheel on the hill | B |
| - | |
| As if in the presence of the sea | C |
| We dried our nets and mended sail | D |
| And talked of never ending things | E |
| - | |
| Of the never ending storm of will | B |
| One will and many wills and the wind | F |
| Of many meanings in the leaves | G |
| - | |
| Brought down to one below the eaves | G |
| Link of that tempest to the farm | H |
| The chain of the turquoise hen and sky | A |
| - | |
| And the wheel that broke as the cart went by | A |
| It is not a voice that is under the eaves | G |
| It is not speech the sound we hear | I |
| - | |
| In this conversation but the sound | J |
| Of things and their motion the other man | K |
| A turquoise monster moving round | J |
