A Song For The Hills Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD BBEE| Here is the freedom men die for die for but never know | A |
| Here is the peace they pray for shrined in eternal snow | A |
| Down on the plain the city moans with a human cry | B |
| But here there is naught but silence peace and the wide wide sky | B |
| - | |
| Here are the dawn's first footfalls and the twilight's last farewell | C |
| The benediction of starlight and the moon's sweet canticle | C |
| Here is one spot as God made it far from the plainsman's range | D |
| Or the march of the cycling seasons with their everlasting change | D |
| - | |
| Down on the plain the city moans with a human cry | B |
| And the man gnomes delve and burrow for gold till they drop and die | B |
| But here there is naught for conquest and the spoiler stands at bay | E |
| For God still keeps one playground where He and His whirlwinds play | E |
