Monadnock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBC DDEDE FFEFE GHEGE IIJIJ KKLKL KKIKM| One summer time with love imbued | A |
| To climb the mount explore the wood | B |
| Or rove from pole to pole | C |
| Upon Monadnock's brow I stood | B |
| A lone adventurous soul | C |
| - | |
| Beyond the Bay State border line | D |
| A sweeping vista grand and fine | D |
| Embraced the Berkshire hills | E |
| Embosomed hamlets clumps of pine | D |
| And country domiciles | E |
| - | |
| Afar Mount Tom in verdantique | F |
| And Holyoke twin companion peak | F |
| Appeared gigantic cones | E |
| The burning sunlight scorched my cheek | F |
| And seemed to melt the stones | E |
| - | |
| Beneath a gnarled and twisted root | G |
| I loosed a pebble with my foot | H |
| That leaped the precipice | E |
| And like an arrow seemed to shoot | G |
| Adown the deep abyss | E |
| - | |
| Beside the base that solstice day | I |
| A city chap who chanced to stray | I |
| Was shooting somewhat too | J |
| Who when the nugget sped that way | I |
| His firelock quickly drew | J |
| - | |
| While right and left he sought the quail | K |
| Or the timid hare that crossed his trail | K |
| Rang out a wild Ha ha | L |
| That might have turned the visage pale | K |
| Of a red skinned Chippewa | L |
| - | |
| The game was his for it made him quail | K |
| He flung his gun and fled the vale | K |
| The mountain dwellers say | I |
| As though pursued by a comet's tail | K |
| And disappeared for aye | M |
