Mist In The Valley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADE FGHHB IJE JKE EE LBMNO| These hills to hurt me more | A |
| That am hurt already enough mdash | B |
| Having left the sea behind | C |
| Having turned suddenly and left the shore | A |
| That I had loved beyond all words even a song's words to | D |
| convey | E |
| - | |
| And built me a house on upland acres | F |
| Sweet with the pinxter bright and rough | G |
| With the rusty blackbird long before the winter's done | H |
| But smelling never of bayberry hot in the sun | H |
| Nor ever loud with the pounding of the long white breakers mdash | B |
| - | |
| These hills beneath the October moon | I |
| Sit in the valley white with mist | J |
| Like islands in a quiet bay | E |
| - | |
| Jut out from shore into the mist | J |
| Wooded with poplar dark as pine | K |
| Like points of land into a quiet bay | E |
| - | |
| Just in the way | E |
| The harbour met the bay | E |
| - | |
| Stricken too sore for tears | L |
| I stand remembering the Islands and the sea's lost sound mdash | B |
| Life at its best no longer than the sand peep's cry | M |
| And I two years two years | N |
| Tilling an upland ground | O |
