Calvin Campbell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHGIJKLLYe who are kicking against Fate | A |
Tell me how it is that on this hill side | B |
Running down to the river | C |
Which fronts the sun and the south wind | D |
This plant draws from the air and soil | E |
Poison and becomes poison ivy | F |
And this plant draws from the same air and soil | E |
Sweet elixirs and colors and becomes arbutus | G |
And both flourish | H |
You may blame Spoon River for what it is | G |
But whom do you blame for the will in you | I |
That feeds itself and makes you dock weed | J |
Jimpson dandelion or mullen | K |
And which can never use any soil or air | L |
So as to make you jessamine or wistaria | L |
