Heart's Wild-flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DEE FGF HHH| To night her lids shall lift again slow soft with vague desire | A |
| And lay about my breast and brain their hush of spirit fire | A |
| And I shall take the sweet of pain as the laborer his hire | A |
| - | |
| And though no word shall e'er be said to ease the ghostly sting | B |
| And though our hearts unhoused unfed must still go wandering | B |
| My sign is set upon her head while stars do meet and sing | B |
| - | |
| Not such a sign as women wear who make their foreheads tame | C |
| With life's long tolerance and bear love's sweetest humblest name | C |
| Nor such as passion eateth bare with its crown of tears and flame | C |
| - | |
| Nor such a sign as happy friend sets on his friend's dear brow | D |
| When meadow pipings break and blend to a key of autumn woe | E |
| And the woodland says playtime 's at end best unclasp hands and go | E |
| - | |
| But where she strays through blight or blooth one fadeless flower she wears | F |
| A little gift God gave my youth whose petals dim were fears | G |
| Awes adorations songs of ruth hesitancies and tears | F |
| - | |
| O heart of mine with all thy powers of white beatitude | H |
| What are the dearest of God's dowers to the children of his blood | H |
| How blow the shy shy wilding flowers in the hollows of his wood | H |
