Song Of Myself, Lii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BC DEF GH IJ KLM NOP

The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me he complains of my gab and my loiteringA
-
I too am not a bit tamed I too am untranslatableB
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the worldC
-
The last scud of day holds back for meD
It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd wildsE
It coaxes me to the vapor and the duskF
-
I depart as air I shake my white locks at the runaway sunG
I effuse my flesh in eddies and drift it in lacy jagsH
-
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I loveI
If you want me again look for me under your boot solesJ
-
You will hardly know who I am or what I meanK
But I shall be good health to you neverthelessL
And filter and fibre your bloodM
-
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouragedN
Missing me one place search anotherO
I stop somewhere waiting for youP

Walt Whitman
