I Am The Reaper Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACADCBA AEFGADCEF AHAIACAJA

I am the ReaperA
All things with heedful hookB
Silent I gatherA
Pale roses touched with the springC
Tall corn in summerA
Fruits rich with autumn and frail winter blossomsD
Reaping still reapingC
All things with heedful hookB
Timely I gatherA
-
I am the SowerA
All the unbodied lifeE
Runs through my seed sheetF
Atom with atom wedG
Each quickening the otherA
Fall through my hands ever changing still changelessD
Ceaselessly sowingC
Life incorruptible lifeE
Flows from my seed sheetF
-
Maker and breakerA
I am the ebb and the floodH
Here and HereafterA
Sped through the tangle and coilI
Of infinite natureA
Viewless and soundless I fashion all beingC
Taker and giverA
I am the womb and the graveJ
The Now and the EverA

William Ernest Henley
