Strife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGDDCCCH| The wind fought with the angry trees | A |
| All morning in immense unease | A |
| They wrestled and ruin strawed the ground | B |
| And the north sky frowned | B |
| The oak and aspen arms were held | C |
| Defiant but the death was knelled | C |
| Of slender saplings snappy boughs | D |
| Twigs brittle as men's vows | D |
| How moaned the trees the struggle through | E |
| Anger almost to madness grew | E |
| The aspen screamed and came a roar | F |
| Of the great wind locked in anguish sore | F |
| Desolate with defeat and then | G |
| Quiet fell again | G |
| The trees slept quiet as great cows | D |
| That lie at noon under broad boughs | D |
| How pure how strange the calm but hist | C |
| Was it the trees by the wind kissed | C |
| Or from afar where the wind's hid | C |
| A throb a sob | H |
