The North Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD DDEE FFGG| In another country black poplars shake themselves over a pond | A |
| And rooks and the rising smoke waves scatter and wheel from the works beyond | A |
| The air is dark with north and with sulphur the grass is a darker green | B |
| And people darkly invested with purple move palpable through the scene | B |
| - | |
| Soundlessly down across the counties out of the resonant gloom | C |
| That wraps the north in stupor and purple travels the deep slow boom | C |
| Of the man life north imprisoned shut in the hum of the purpled steel | D |
| As it spins to sleep on its motion drugged dense in the sleep of the wheel | D |
| - | |
| Out of the sleep from the gloom of motion soundlessly somnambule | D |
| Moans and booms the soul of a people imprisoned asleep in the rule | D |
| Of the strong machine that runs mesmeric booming the spell of its word | E |
| Upon them and moving them helpless mechanic their will to its will deferred | E |
| - | |
| Yet all the while comes the droning inaudible out of the violet air | F |
| The moaning of sleep bound beings in travail that toil and are will less there | F |
| In the spell bound north convulsive now with a dream near morning strong | G |
| With violent achings heaving to burst the sleep that is now not long | G |
