To My Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FGGFHIGJBKAKLLMN OPQR| With love of my own race I cling unto my country | A |
| Whatever dubious reason may protesting cry | B |
| The shame alone of all her blood bought glory | A |
| Her haughty self assurance conscious pride | C |
| And the ancestral faith's traditions dark | D |
| With woe have penetrated all my heart | E |
| - | |
| And yet I love it Why I cannot say | F |
| The endless snowy Steppes so silent brooding | G |
| In the pine forests Autumn winds pursuing | G |
| The flood's high water on all sides in May | F |
| By peasant cart I fain would haste in nightly darkness | H |
| Through the lone wilderness and village desolate | I |
| How hospitable shines the sole beam sparkling | G |
| To me from each poor hut Filled with content so great | J |
| The smell of stubble burnt delights Piled high | B |
| The wagons silent standing take their nightly rest | K |
| On distant hills the silver birches I descry | A |
| Framed gold by fertile fields the sacred picture blest | K |
| Then with a joy unshared save by the vagrant | L |
| I see the threshing floor well filled and fragrant | L |
| The sloping straw thatched cottage roofs again | M |
| The window panels carved of varied stain | N |
| - | |
| Nightly could I till morning grey arrested | O |
| Gaze on the dancing stamping whistling crowd | P |
| Watching the villager young happy festive | Q |
| And hearing drunken peasants glad carouse | R |
