The Plains Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC

A land as far as the eye can see where the waving grasses growA
Or the plains are blackened and burnt and bare where the false mirages goA
Like shifting symbols of hope deferred land where you never knowA
-
Land of the plenty or land of want where the grey Companions danceB
Feast or famine or hope or fear and in all things land of chanceB
Where Nature pampers or Nature slays in her ruthless red romanceB
-
And we catch a sound of a fairy's song as the wind goes whipping byC
Or a scent like incense drifts along from the herbage ripe and dryC
Or the dust storms dance on their ballroom floor where the bones of the cattle lieC
