An Acre Of Grass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FGHIJK LJMJNN OPLPII

Picture and book remainA
An acre of green grassB
For air and exerciseC
Now strength of body goesD
Midnight an old houseE
Where nothing stirs but a mouseE
-
My temptation is quietF
Here at life's endG
Neither loose imaginationH
Nor the mill of the mindI
Consuming its rag and boncJ
Can make the truth knownK
-
Grant me an old man's frenzyL
Myself must I remakeJ
Till I am Timon and LearM
Or that William BlakeJ
Who beat upon the wallN
Till Truth obeyed his callN
-
A mind Michael Angelo knewO
That can pierce the cloudsP
Or inspired by frenzyL
Shake the dead in their shroudsP
Forgotten else by mankindI
An old man's eagle mindI

William Butler Yeats
