In Clay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEFFGG HHBBII JJHere went a horse with heavy laboring stride | A |
Along the woodland side | A |
Deep in the clay his iron hoof marks show | B |
Patient and slow | B |
Where with his human burden yesterday | C |
He passed this way | C |
- | |
Would that this wind that tramples 'round me here | D |
Among the sad and sere | E |
Of winter weary forests were a steed | F |
Mighty indeed | F |
And tameless as the tempest of its pace | G |
Upon whom man might place | G |
- | |
The boundless burden of his mortal cares | H |
Life's griefs despairs | H |
And ruined dreams that bow the spirit so | B |
And let him go | B |
Bearing them far from the sad world ah me | I |
Leaving it free | I |
- | |
As in that Age of Gold of which men tell | J |
When Earth was glad and gods came here to dwell | J |
