The Plains Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCCA land as far as the eye can see where the waving grasses grow | A |
Or the plains are blackened and burnt and bare where the false mirages go | A |
Like shifting symbols of hope deferred land where you never know | A |
- | |
Land of the plenty or land of want where the grey Companions dance | B |
Feast or famine or hope or fear and in all things land of chance | B |
Where Nature pampers or Nature slays in her ruthless red romance | B |
- | |
And we catch a sound of a fairy's song as the wind goes whipping by | C |
Or a scent like incense drifts along from the herbage ripe and dry | C |
Or the dust storms dance on their ballroom floor where the bones of the cattle lie | C |
