In the Copse

In the Copse

(an Irish Casbairdne)

 

Burnished leaves lie unconcealed;

yearning sleaves sun's marygold.

Facet's font of emerald

hems where wants may manifold.

 

Reasons branch; limbs reconcile,

wiled in chance each interval.

Doors hold venom's vistibule

bold by portal's pedestal.

 

Fettle surrounds filament;

ground instilled is occident-

the season's balm- tantamount,

in reason's calm covenant.

 

(Pronounced  'coss-BUYer-dne,  this is an Irish syllabic form.  The verse is a

quatrain composed of 7 syllable lines.   These lines have trisyllabic endings.

Lines 2 and 4 rhyme.  Line one consonates with 2 and 3 consonates with 4.

There are at least 2 cross-rhymes per couplet, although they can be off-true

in the first couplet.  These cross-rhymes may appear anywhere between the

second and fourth syllables.   The final syllable of line 4 alliterates with the

preceding stressed word.)
