Texas Cowboy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ FEFE| From garden beds I tend it is not far | A |
| To those great ranges where he used to ride | B |
| Time s shadowy Door still stands a rift ajar | A |
| And Fancy glancing backward and aside | B |
| May glimpse him whirling in a storm of dust | C |
| A flashing bronze against a burning sky | D |
| Before a sea of tossing horns up thrust | C |
| A peril thousand pronged to breast or die | D |
| Or lying with locked hands beneath his head | E |
| Watching the stars beside a lonely fire | F |
| About him dim immensity outspread | E |
| Within dim gulfs of question and desire | F |
| He is a Thought he is not flesh and bone | G |
| He is immortal Youth astride a Dream | H |
| The hungry flame that eats to ash and stone | G |
| The gorgeous fruitage of the things that seem | H |
| And I who sand with pang and toil enough | I |
| My roots at last down to the nether springs | J |
| Yet born to coax the shapely from the rough | I |
| Have shunned the red and jagged edge of things | J |
| A Woman with a bird a book a flower | F |
| Who sifting life has kept the quiet part | E |
| Whose days like pearls are sorted hour by hour | F |
| Why is it that he gallops through my heart | E |
