The Dunes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADAADAE| Far as the eye can see in domes and spires | A |
| Buttress and curve ruins of shifting sand | B |
| In whose wild making wind and sea took hand | B |
| The white dunes stretch The wind that never tires | C |
| Striving for strange effects that he admires | A |
| Changes their form from time to time the land | B |
| Forever passive to his mad demand | B |
| And to the sea's who with the wind conspires | A |
| Here as on towers of desolate cities bay | D |
| And wire grass grow wherein no insect cries | A |
| Only a bird the swallow of the sea | A |
| That homes in sand I hear it far away | D |
| Crying or is it some lost soul that flies | A |
| Above the land ailing unceasingly | E |
