The Vacant Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBE FGFH IBIB| As I did walk in meadows green | A |
| I heard the summer noon resound | B |
| With call of myriad things unseen | A |
| That leapt and crept upon the ground | B |
| - | |
| High overhead the windless air | C |
| Throbbed with the homesick coursing cry | D |
| Of swallows that did everywhere | C |
| Wake echo in the sky | D |
| - | |
| Beside me too clear waters coursed | B |
| Which willow branches lapsing low | E |
| Breaking their crystal gliding forced | B |
| To sing as they did flow | E |
| - | |
| I listened and my heart was dumb | F |
| With praise no language could express | G |
| Longing in vain for him to come | F |
| Who had breathed such blessedness | H |
| - | |
| On this fair world wherein we pass | I |
| So chequered and so brief a stay | B |
| And yearned in spirit to learn alas | I |
| What kept him still away | B |
