At The Summit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC BBBWhere bold Sierras cut the sky | A |
Mount Whitney of the high most high | A |
Halts the pale clouds that wander by | A |
- | |
We crept and climbed with eager feet | B |
Until the world fulfilled complete | B |
Plunged like despair before his seat | B |
- | |
So high the peak was we had won | C |
Earth's air wore thin its woof undone | C |
And blue space darkened round the sun | C |
- | |
Yet as we trembled there and quailed | B |
Lo higher yet an eagle scaled | B |
Smooth steeps of air and sunward sailed | B |
