Out Of The Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEEFGHHIJIJKLKL MNMNNOPPPOIn the middle of countries far from hills and sea | A |
Are the little places one passes by in trains | B |
And never stops at where the skies extend | C |
Uninterrupted and the level plains | B |
Stretch green and yellow and green without an end | C |
And behind the glass of their Grand Express | D |
Folk yawn away a province through | E |
With nothing to think of nothing to do | E |
Nothing even to look at never a 'view' | F |
In this damned wilderness | G |
But I look out of the window and find | H |
Much to satisfy the mind | H |
Mark how the furrows formed and wheeled | I |
In a motion orderly and staid | J |
Sweep as we pass across the field | I |
Like a drilled army on parade | J |
And here's a market garden barred | K |
With stripe on stripe of varied greens | L |
Bright potatoes flower starred | K |
And the opacous colour of beans | L |
Each line deliberately swings | M |
Towards me till I see a straight | N |
Green avenue to the heart of things | M |
The glimpse of a sudden opened gate | N |
Piercing the adverse walls of fate | N |
A moment only and then fast fast | O |
The gate swings to the avenue closes | P |
Fate laughs and once more interposes | P |
Its barriers | P |
The train has passed | O |
