Feud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBC DDEFEF GGHIHI IIIJIJ KKLMNM IIOPOP| A Mile of lane hedged high with iron weeds | A |
| And dying daisies white with sun that leads | A |
| Downward into a wood through which a stream | B |
| Steals like a shadow over which is laid | C |
| A bridge of logs worn deep by many a team | B |
| Sunk in the tangled shade | C |
| - | |
| Far off a wood dove lifts its lonely cry | D |
| And in the sleepy silver of the sky | D |
| A gray hawk wheels scarce larger than a hand | E |
| From point to point the road grows worse and worse | F |
| Until that place is reached where all the land | E |
| Seems burdened with some curse | F |
| - | |
| A ragged fence of pickets warped and sprung | G |
| On which the fragments of a gate are hung | G |
| Divides a hill the fox and ground hog haunt | H |
| A wilderness of briers o'er whose tops | I |
| A battered barn is seen low roofed and gaunt | H |
| 'Mid fields that know no crops | I |
| - | |
| Fields over which a path o'erwhelmed with burs | I |
| And ragweeds noisy with the grasshoppers | I |
| Leads lost irresolute as paths the cows | I |
| Wear through the woods unto a woodshed then | J |
| With wrecks of windows to a huddled house | I |
| Where men have murdered men | J |
| - | |
| A house whose tottering chimney clay and rock | K |
| Is seamed and crannied whose lame door and lock | K |
| Are bullet bored around which there and here | L |
| Are sinister stains One dreads to look around | M |
| The place seems thinking of that time of fear | N |
| And dares not breathe a sound | M |
| - | |
| Within is emptiness the sunlight falls | I |
| On faded journals papering its walls | I |
| On advertisement chromos torn with time | O |
| Around a hearth where wasps and spiders build | P |
| The house is dead meseems that night of crime | O |
| It too was shot and killed | P |
