Grass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDAEA FGHIAAAA JKLKMAMA| The world is all one smother of grass | A |
| Waves of it rolling deep and green | B |
| Clothing the paddocks gentle slope | C |
| Laughing the brown tree trunks between | B |
| And some are praising the brilliant flowers | D |
| The beauty of foliage as they pass | A |
| But I am drinking its glory in | E |
| And thanking the Lord for grass for grass | A |
| - | |
| The air is a murmur with rippling sound | F |
| From jubilant creeks long fed with rain | G |
| Singing of drought and travail past | H |
| And a bounteous earth drown young again | I |
| An earth that is telling its thankfulness | A |
| With passionate rapture too deep for words | A |
| In acres and acres of waving grass | A |
| Haven of promise to starving herds | A |
| - | |
| There s a tangle of bloom in its moist green shade | J |
| Mottled yam flowers and gentians blue | K |
| Small white stars that are honey sweet | L |
| And nodding bluebells all drenched with dew | K |
| And oh The breath of its incense rare | M |
| As the summer breezes over it pass | A |
| My heart is thrilling with voiceless prayer | M |
| And thanking the Giver of things for grass | A |
