The Dunes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADAADAEFar 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 |
