The Sower (eastern France) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHH| Familiar year by year to the creaking wain | A |
| Is the long road's level ridge above the plain | A |
| To day a battery comes with horses and guns | B |
| On the straight road that under the poplars runs | B |
| At leisurely pace the guns with mouths declined | C |
| Harness merrily ringing and dust behind | C |
| Makers of widows makers of orphans they | D |
| Pass to their burial business alert and gay | D |
| - | |
| But down in the field where sun has the furrow dried | E |
| Is a man who walks in the furrow with even stride | E |
| At every step with elbow jerked across | F |
| He scatters seed in a quick deliberate toss | F |
| The immemorial gesture of Man confiding | G |
| To Earth that restores tenfold in a season's gliding | G |
| He is grave and patient sowing his children's bread | H |
| He treads the kindly furrow nor turns his head | H |
