Poppies On The Wheat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCBADDADAA| Along Ancona's hills the shimmering heat | A |
| A tropic tide of air with ebb and flow | B |
| Bathes all the fields of wheat until they glow | B |
| Like flashing seas of green which toss and beat | A |
| Around the vines The poppies lithe and fleet | A |
| Seem running fiery torchmen to and fro | B |
| To mark the shore | C |
| The farmer does not know | B |
| That they are there He walks with heavy feet | A |
| Counting the bread and wine by autumn's gain | D |
| But I I smile to think that days remain | D |
| Perhaps to me in which through bread be sweet | A |
| No more and red wine warm my blood in vain | D |
| I shall be glad remembering how the fleet | A |
| Lithe poppies ran like torchmen with the wheat | A |
