Rain On The Hill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCCBB DDECCEFFFGB HHIJJIKLLCC| Now on the hill | A |
| The fitful wind is so still | A |
| That never a wimpling mist uplifts | B |
| Nor a trembling leaf drop laden stirs | B |
| From the ancient firs | B |
| Aroma of balsam drifts | B |
| And the silent places are filled | C |
| With elusive odors distilled | C |
| By the rain from asters empearled and frilled | C |
| And a wild wet savor that dwells | B |
| Far adown in tawny fallows and bracken dells | B |
| - | |
| Then with a rush | D |
| Breaking the beautiful hush | D |
| Where the only sound was the lisping low | E |
| Converse of raindrops or the dear sound | C |
| Close to the ground | C |
| That grasses make when they grow | E |
| Comes the wind in a gay | F |
| Rollicking turbulent way | F |
| To winnow each bough and toss each spray | F |
| Piping and whistling in glee | G |
| With the vibrant notes of a merry minstrelsy | B |
| - | |
| The friendly rain | H |
| Sings many a haunting strain | H |
| Now of gladness and now of dole | I |
| Anon of the glamor and the dream | J |
| That ever seem | J |
| To wait on a pilgrim soul | I |
| Yea we can hear | K |
| The grief of an elder year | L |
| And laughter half forgotten and dear | L |
| In the wind and the rain we find | C |
| Fellowship meet for each change of mood or mind | C |
