My Comrade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFA GAAACAAA GAAAAHIH AAJAKAAA JLKL| Out from my window westward | A |
| I turn full oft my face | B |
| But the mountains rebuke the vision | C |
| That would encompass space | B |
| They lift their lofty foreheads | D |
| To the kiss of the clouds above | E |
| And ask quot With all our glory | F |
| Can we not win your love quot | A |
| - | |
| I answer quot No oh mountains | G |
| I see that you are grand | A |
| But you have not the breadth and beauty | A |
| Of the fields in my own land | A |
| You narrow my range of vision | C |
| And you even shut from me | A |
| The voice of my old comrade | A |
| The West Wind wild and free quot | A |
| - | |
| But to day I climbed the mountains | G |
| On the back of a snow white steed | A |
| And the West Wind came to greet me | A |
| He flew on the wings of speed | A |
| His charger and mine that bore me | A |
| Went gaily neck to neck | H |
| Till the town in the valley belkow us | I |
| Looked like a small dark speck | H |
| - | |
| And oh what tales he whispered | A |
| As he rode there by me | A |
| Of friends whose smiling faces | J |
| I am so soon to see | A |
| And the mountains frowned in anger | K |
| Because I balked their spite | A |
| And met my old time comrade | A |
| There on their very height | A |
| - | |
| But I laughed up in their faces | J |
| As I rode slowly back | L |
| While the Wind went faster and faster | K |
| Like a race horse on the track | L |
