An Abandoned Quarry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDBAEFGEFH| The barberry burns the rose hip crimsons warm | A |
| And haw and sumach hedge the hill with fire | B |
| Down which the road winds worn of hoof and tire | B |
| Only the blueberry picker plods now from the farm | C |
| Here once the quarry driver brown of arm | C |
| Wielded the whip when deep in mud and mire | D |
| The axle strained and earned his daily hire | B |
| Labouring bareheaded in both sun and storm | A |
| Wild cherry now and blackberry and bay | E |
| Usurp the place the wild rose undisturbed | F |
| Riots where once the workman earned his wage | G |
| Whose old hands rest now like this granite grey | E |
| These rocks whose stubborn will whilom he curbed | F |
| Hard as the toil that was his heritage | H |
