Memories Of The Pacific Coast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| I know a land I too | A |
| Where warm keen incense on the sea wind blows | B |
| And all the winter long the skies are blue | A |
| And the brown deserts blossom with the rose | B |
| - | |
| Deserts of all delight | C |
| Cactus and palm and earth of thirsty gold | D |
| Dark purple blooms round eaves of sun washed white | C |
| And that Hesperian fruit men sought of old | D |
| - | |
| O to be wandering there | E |
| Under the palm trees on that sunset shore | F |
| Where the waves break in song and the bright air | E |
| Is crystal clean and peace is ours once more | F |
| - | |
| There Beauty dwells | G |
| Beauty re born in whiteness from the foam | H |
| And Youth returns with all its magic spells | G |
| And the heart finds its long forgotten home | H |
| - | |
| Home home Where is that land | I |
| For when I dream it found the old hungering cry | J |
| Aches in the soul drives me from all I planned | I |
| And sets my sail to seek another sky | J |
