Song Of Myself, Lii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BC DEF GH IJ KLM NOPThe spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me he complains of my gab and my loitering | A |
- | |
I too am not a bit tamed I too am untranslatable | B |
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world | C |
- | |
The last scud of day holds back for me | D |
It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd wilds | E |
It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk | F |
- | |
I depart as air I shake my white locks at the runaway sun | G |
I effuse my flesh in eddies and drift it in lacy jags | H |
- | |
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love | I |
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles | J |
- | |
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean | K |
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless | L |
And filter and fibre your blood | M |
- | |
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged | N |
Missing me one place search another | O |
I stop somewhere waiting for you | P |
