The Plains Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FFCGHHBGHow one loves them | A |
These wide horizons whether Desert or Sea | B |
Vague and vast and infinite faintly clear | C |
Surely hid in the far away unknown There | D |
Lie the things so longed for and found not found not Here | E |

Only where some passionate level land | F |
Stretches itself in reaches of golden sand | F |
Only where the sea line is joined to the sky line clear | C |
Beyond the curve of ripple or white foamed crest | G |
Shall the weary eyes | H |
Distressed by the broken skies | H |
Broken by Minaret mountain or towering tree | B |
Shall the weary eyes be assuaged be assuaged and rest | G |
