Nobody Knows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GAHAIJKJ LMNMOPIP| Often I've heard the Wind sigh | A |
| By the ivied orchard wall | B |
| Over the leaves in the dark night | C |
| Breathe a sighing call | B |
| And faint away in the silence | D |
| While I in my bed | E |
| Wondered 'twixt dreaming and waking | F |
| What it said | E |
| - | |
| Nobody knows what the Wind is | G |
| Under the height of the sky | A |
| Where the hosts of the stars keep far away house | H |
| And its wave sweeps by | A |
| Just a great wave of the air | I |
| Tossing the leaves in its sea | J |
| And foaming under the eaves of the roof | K |
| That covers me | J |
| - | |
| And so we live under deep water | L |
| All of us beasts and men | M |
| And our bodies are buried down under the sand | N |
| When we go again | M |
| And leave like the fishes our shells | O |
| And float on the Wind and away | P |
| To where o'er the marvellous tides of the air | I |
| Burns day | P |
