Our Native Earth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGCGCHH| We do not carry it in lockets on the breast | A |
| And do not cry about it in poems | B |
| It does not wake us from the bitter rest | A |
| And does not seem to us like Eden promised | C |
| In our hearts we never try to treat | D |
| This as a subject for the bargain row | E |
| While being ill unhappy spent on it | F |
| We even fail to see it or to know | E |
| Yes this dirt on the feet suits us fairly | G |
| Yes this crunch on the teeth suits us just | C |
| And we trample it nightly and daily | G |
| This unmixed and non structural dust | C |
| But we lay into it and become it alone | H |
| And therefore call this earth so freely my own | H |
