The Thought Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG HHHH IIJJJ HHHH KKL MMJJ NNHHOP| Into the skies one summer's day | A |
| I sent a little Thought away | A |
| Up to where in the blue round | B |
| The sun sat shining without sound | B |
| - | |
| Then my Thought came back to me | C |
| Little Thought what did you see | C |
| In the regions whence you come | D |
| And when I spoke my Thought was dumb | D |
| - | |
| But she breathed of what was there | E |
| In the pure bright upper air | E |
| And because my Thought so shone | F |
| I knew she had been shone upon | G |
| - | |
| Next by night a Thought I sent | H |
| Up into the firmament | H |
| When the eager stars were out | H |
| And the still moon shone about | H |
| - | |
| And my Thought went past the moon | I |
| In between the stars but soon | I |
| Held her breath and durst not stir | J |
| For the fear that covered her | J |
| Then she thought in this demur | J |
| - | |
| 'Dare I look beneath the shade | H |
| Into where the worlds are made | H |
| Where the suns and stars are wrought | H |
| Shall I meet another Thought | H |
| - | |
| 'Will that other Thought have wings | K |
| Shall I meet strange heavenly things | K |
| Thought of Thoughts and Light of Lights | L |
| Breath of Breaths and Night of Nights ' | - |
| - | |
| Then my Thought began to hark | M |
| In the illuminated dark | M |
| Till the silence over under | J |
| Made her heart beat more than thunder | J |
| - | |
| And my Thought came trembling back | N |
| But with something on her track | N |
| And with something at her side | H |
| Nor till she has lived and died | H |
| Lived and died and lived again | O |
| Will that awful thing seem plain | P |
