Clearing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFG HHIJJJ KKLMML NNOPPO| Before the wind with rain drowned stocks | A |
| The pleated crimson hollyhocks | A |
| Are bending | B |
| And smouldering in the breaking brown | C |
| Above the hills that edge the town | C |
| The day is ending | B |
| - | |
| The air is heavy with the damp | D |
| And one by one each cottage lamp | D |
| Is lighted | E |
| Infrequent passers of the street | F |
| Stroll on or stop to talk or greet | F |
| Benighted | G |
| - | |
| I look beyond my city yard | H |
| And watch the white moon struggling hard | H |
| Cloud buried | I |
| The wind is driving toward the east | J |
| A wreck of pearl all cracked and creased | J |
| And serried | J |
| - | |
| At times the moon erupting streaks | K |
| Some long cloud like Andean peaks | K |
| That double | L |
| Horizon vast volcano chains | M |
| The earthquake scars with lava veins | M |
| That bubble | L |
| - | |
| The wind that blows from out the hills | N |
| Is like a woman's touch that stills | N |
| A sorrow | O |
| The moon sits high with many a star | P |
| In the deep calm and fair and far | P |
| Abides to morrow | O |
