In Clay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEFFGG HHBBII JJ| Here 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 |
