Lines To A Dragon Fly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DDEEFFGGHHDD| Life priest and poet say is but a dream | A |
| I wish no happier one than to be laid | B |
| Beneath some cool syringa's scented shade | B |
| Or wavy willow by the running stream | A |
| Brimful of Moral where the Dragon Fly | C |
| Wanders as careless and content as I | C |
| - | |
| Thanks for this fancy insect king | D |
| Of purple crest and filmy wing | D |
| Who with indifference givest up | E |
| The water lily's golden cup | E |
| To come again and overlook | F |
| What I am writing in my book | F |
| Believe me most who read the line | G |
| Will read with hornier eyes than thine | G |
| And yet their souls shall live for ever | H |
| And thine drop dead into the river | H |
| God pardon them O insect king | D |
| Who fancy so unjust a thing | D |
