Dogtown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBDCBD| Far as the eye can see the land is grey | A |
| And desolation sits among the stones | B |
| Looking on ruin who from rocks like bones | B |
| Stares with a dead face at the dying day | A |
| Mounds where the barberry and bay hold sway | A |
| Show where homes rose once where the village crones | B |
| Gossiped and man with many sighs and groans | B |
| Laboured and loved and went its daily way | A |
| Only the crow now like a hag returned | C |
| Croaks on the common that its hoarse voice mocks | B |
| Meseems that here the sorrow of the earth | D |
| Has lost herself and with the past concerned | C |
| Sits with the ghosts of dreams that haunt these rocks | B |
| And old despairs to which man's soul gave birth | D |
