Dunes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGHIJKLMB

What do we see here in the sand dunes of the whiteA
moon alone with our thoughts BillB
Alone with our dreams Bill soft as the women tyingC
scarves around their heads dancingC
Alone with a picture and a picture coming one after theD
other of all the deadE
The dead more than all these grains of sand one by oneF
piled here in the moonG
Piled against the sky line taking shapes like the hand ofH
the wind wantedI
What do we see here Bill outside of what the wise menJ
beat their heads onK
Outside of what the poets cry for and the soldiers driveL
on headlong and leave their skulls in the sun forM
what BillB
