Incompatibility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHIJIKLKM NONEPQRQ| Higher there higher far from the ways | A |
| from the farms and the valleys beyond the trees | B |
| beyond the hills and the grasses haze | A |
| far from the herd trampled tapestries | B |
| you discover a sombre pool in the deep | C |
| that a few bare snow covered mountains form | D |
| The lake in light s and night s sublime sleep | C |
| is never disturbed in its silent storm | D |
| In that mournful waste to the unsure ear | E |
| come faint drawn out sounds more dead than the bell | F |
| of some far off cow the echoes unclear | G |
| as it grazes the slope of a distant dell | F |
| On those hills where the wind effaces all signs | H |
| on those glaciers fired by the sun s pure light | I |
| on those rocks where dizziness threatens the mind | J |
| in that lake s vermilion presage of night | I |
| under my feet and above my head | K |
| silence that makes you wish to escape | L |
| that eternal silence of the mountainous bed | K |
| of motionless air where everything waits | M |
| You would say that the sky in its loneliness | N |
| gazed at itself in the glass and up there | O |
| the mountains listened in grave watchfulness | N |
| to the mystery nothing that s human can hear | E |
| And when by chance a wandering cloud | P |
| darkens the silent lake moving by | Q |
| you might think that you saw some spirit s robe | R |
| or else its clear shadow travelling over the sky | Q |
