The Latter Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| THE latter rain it falls in anxious haste | A |
| Upon the sun dried fields and branches bare | B |
| Loosening with searching drops the rigid waste | A |
| As if it would each root's lost strength repair | B |
| But not a blade grows green as in the spring | C |
| No swelling twig puts forth its thickening leaves | D |
| The robins only mid the harvests sing | C |
| Pecking the grain that scatters from the sheaves | D |
| The rain falls still the fruit all ripened drops | E |
| It pierces chestnut burr and walnut shell | F |
| The furrowed fields disclose the yellow crops | E |
| Each bursting pod of talents used can tell | F |
| And all that once received the early rain | G |
| Declare to man it was not sent in vain | G |
