The Plough Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEFG HIHI JKJK| A landscape in Berkshire | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Above yon sombre swell of land | B |
| Thou see'st the dawn's grave orange hue | C |
| With one pale streak like yellow sand | B |
| And over that a vein of blue | C |
| - | |
| The air is cold above the woods | D |
| All silent is the earth and sky | E |
| Except with his own lonely moods | F |
| The blackbird holds a colloquy | G |
| - | |
| Over the broad hill creeps a beam | H |
| Like hope that gilds a good man's brow | I |
| And now ascends the nostril stream | H |
| Of stalwart horses come to plough | I |
| - | |
| Ye rigid Ploughmen bear in mind | J |
| Your labour is for future hours | K |
| Advance spare not nor look behind | J |
| Plough deep and straight with all your powers | K |
