Monadnock Through The Trees Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED| Before there was in Egypt any sound | A |
| Of those who reared a more prodigious means | B |
| For the self heavy sleep of kings and queens | B |
| Than hitherto had mocked the most renowned | A |
| Unvisioned here and waiting to be found | A |
| Alone amid remote and older scenes | B |
| You loomed above ancestral evergreens | B |
| Before there were the first of us around | A |
| - | |
| And when the last of us if we know how | C |
| See farther from ourselves than we do now | C |
| Assured with other sight than heretofore | D |
| That we have done our mortal best and worst | E |
| Your calm will be the same as when the first | E |
| Assyrians went howling south to war | D |
