Spicewood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFGEFG| The spicewood burns along the gray spent sky | A |
| In moist unchimneyed places in a wind | B |
| That whips it all before and all behind | B |
| Into one thick rude flame now low now high | A |
| It is the first the homeliest thing of all | C |
| At sight of it that lad that by it fares | D |
| Whistles afresh his foolish town caught airs | D |
| A thing so honey colored and so tall | C |
| - | |
| It is as though the young Year ere he pass | E |
| To the white riot of the cherry tree | F |
| Would fain accustom us or here or there | G |
| To his new sudden ways with bough and grass | E |
| So starts with what is humble plain to see | F |
| And all familiar as a cup a chair | G |
