The Landmark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEED| Was that the landmark What the foolish well | A |
| Whose wave low down I did not stoop to drink | B |
| But sat and flung the pebbles from its brink | B |
| In sport to send its imaged skies pell mell | A |
| And mine own image had I noted well | A |
| Was that my point of turning I had thought | C |
| The stations of my course should rise unsought | C |
| As altar stone or ensigned citadel | A |
| - | |
| But lo the path is missed I must go back | D |
| And thirst to drink when next I reach the spring | E |
| Which once I stained which since may have grown black | D |
| Yet though no light be left nor bird now sing | E |
| As here I turn I'll thank God hastening | E |
| That the same goal is still on the same track | D |
