The Hill Maples Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIAI JKLK| Here on a hill of the occident stand we shoulder to shoulder | A |
| Comrades tried and true through a mighty swath of the years | B |
| Spring harps glad laughter through us and ministrant rains of the autumn | C |
| Sing us again the songs of ancient dolor and tears | D |
| - | |
| The glory of sunrise smites on our fair free brows uplifted | E |
| When the silver kirtled day steps over the twilight's bars | F |
| At evening we look adown into valleys hearted with sunset | G |
| And we whisper old lore together under the smouldering stars | F |
| - | |
| Crescent moons of the summer gleam through our swaying branches | H |
| Knee deep in fern we stand while the days of the sun time go | I |
| And the winds of winter love us the keen gay winds of the winter | A |
| Coming to our gray arms from over the plains of snow | I |
| - | |
| Down in the valleys beneath us is wooing and winning and wedding | J |
| Down in the long dim valleys earth children wail and weep | K |
| But here on these free hills we grow and are strong and flourish | L |
| Comrades shoulder to shoulder our watch of the years to keep | K |
