Kara Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDD DEDE FGFG GHGH DDDD| Chequered with sunshine and shade the umbrage of white clouds in motion | A |
| Rearing their summits to Heaven broken like waves on their strands | B |
| Northward and southward and seaward the mountains arise from the ocean | A |
| Poised on a height above all Kara the beautiful stands | B |
| - | |
| Kara whose mountain the ranges lie under in turbulent surges | C |
| Billows of purple and blue that stretch from her base to the sea | D |
| Kara that knoweth the breath of the storm wind the sound of his dirges | D |
| Sweeping her gorges and clefts or sighing to river and tree | D |
| - | |
| High as an eagle s nest crowning a summit storm beaten and hoary | D |
| Framed in a setting of green which sombre tints deepen and tone | E |
| Gleam all the station s white roofs refracting the Summer god s glory | D |
| Ribbons of silvery light surmounting gray masses of stone | E |
| - | |
| Beauty is round it and peace and silence and sunlight enfold it | F |
| Clothing with mystical charm summit and forest and scar | G |
| Fair as a dream of delight it seemeth to eyes that behold it | F |
| Roofed by the azure of heaven with sheen of blue waters afar | G |
| - | |
| Dreamily drifteth the day in solitudes far from life s clamour | G |
| Soundeth no murmur of tongues echo of hurrying feet | H |
| Soundeth no blast of the furnace nor anvil that rings with the hammer | G |
| Thunder of horses and wheels traffic and roar of the street | H |
| - | |
| Only a silence supreme where Nature seems buried in slumbers | D |
| Save for the bell bird s clear note or murmuring cadence of bees | D |
| Or sough of the wind as it chanteth its paean in musical numbers | D |
| Soft to the pine crests aloft monarchs of leaf laden seas | D |
