Crow Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDDCDCGUTTED of station noise alone | A |
The crow's voice trembles down the sky | B |
As if this nitrous flange of stone | A |
Wept suddenly with such a cry | B |
As if the rock found lips to sigh | B |
The riven earth a mouth to moan | A |
But we that hear them stumbling by | B |
Confuse their torments with our own | A |
Over the huge abraded rind | C |
Crow countries graped with dung we go | D |
Past gullies that no longer flow | D |
And wells that nobody can find | C |
Lashed by the screaming of the crow | D |
Stabbed by the needles of the mind | C |
