Beginning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDAEFGHIJAK| The moon drops one or two feathers into the fiels | A |
| The dark wheat listens | A |
| Be still | B |
| Now | C |
| There they are the moon's young trying | D |
| Their wings | A |
| Between trees a slender woman lifts up the lovely shadow | E |
| Of her face and now she steps into the air now she is gone | F |
| Wholly into the air | G |
| I stand alone by an elder tree I do not dare breathe | H |
| Or move | I |
| I listen | J |
| The wheat leans back toward its own darkness | A |
| And I lean toward mine | K |
