Lines To A Dragon Fly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DDEEFFGGHHDDLife 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 |
