The Corn Husker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG| Hard by the Indian lodges where the bush | A |
| Breaks in a clearing through ill fashioned fields | B |
| She comes to labour when the first still hush | C |
| Of autumn follows large and recent yields | B |
| - | |
| Age in her fingers hunger in her face | D |
| Her shoulders stooped with weight of work and years | E |
| But rich in tawny colouring of her race | D |
| She comes a field to strip the purple ears | E |
| - | |
| And all her thoughts are with the days gone by | F |
| Ere might's injustice banished from their lands | G |
| Her people that to day unheeded lie | F |
| Like the dead husks that rustle through her hands | G |
