In A Northern Wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| FRAGRANT are the cedar boughs stretching green and level | A |
| Feasting halls where waxwings flit at their spicy revel | A |
| But O the pine the questing pine that flings its arms on high | B |
| To search the secret of the sun and escalade the sky | B |
| Rueful hemlocks gaunt and old with boughs a droop despairing | C |
| Clutch for touch of mother earth the while the pine is daring | C |
| To rock the stars amid its cones and lull them with its croon | D |
| And snare the silver eagle that is nested in the moon | D |
