Yes! There are many passages that contain what seem like long lines (or sometimes short) of thought that are barely rhymed. One of my faves is from the Sunrise Letter. I capitalized the few rhymes. Thinking about it anew, it's like she's calm at first then the triple rhyme comes ( on the ...IVE) when she starts to get anxious, then she relaxes a bit again and the rhymes stop until that very simple one (..EE) at the end. Just brilliant. And interestingly, the next section of this song, as she gets more worked up, is PACKED with rhymes.
Also I wrote this from memory so apologies if I misquoted anything! :-)
Giorgio, I stand here staring at the sunrise,
Thinking how we've never seen a sunrise together,
Thinking how the sunrise only means another day without you,
And thinking, can our love SURVIVE so much seperation,
Keep itself ALIVE, much less THRIVE,
If only you were HERE,
If I could feel your touch,
I wouldn't have such FEAR
If only we had more than letters holding us together,
If we just could hold each other now the sunrise then could BE,
A thing that I could SEE,
And merely think "how beautiful" |
