Elementalist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEFGFG HIAIAJAJ KLKLAAAA| Could Fate ordain a lot for me | A |
| Beyond all human ills | B |
| I think that I would choose to be | A |
| A shephard of the hills | B |
| With shaggy cloak and cape where skies | C |
| Eternally are blue | D |
| How I would stare with quiet eyes | C |
| At passing you | D |
| - | |
| And you would stare at static me | A |
| Beside my patient flock | E |
| And I would watch you silently | A |
| A one with time and rock | E |
| Then foreign farings you would chart | F |
| And fly with fearsome wings | G |
| While I would bide to be a part | F |
| Of elemental things | G |
| - | |
| Yet strangely I would have it so | H |
| Since I am kin to these | I |
| To heather heath and bloom ablow | A |
| And peaks and piney trees | I |
| As diamond star at evenfall | A |
| And pearly morning mist | J |
| Sing in my veins myself I call | A |
| An Elementalist | J |
| - | |
| So as in city dirt and din | K |
| I push a grubby pen | L |
| And toil my bed and board to win | K |
| I hate the haunts of men | L |
| Beyond brick wall I seem to see | A |
| Fern dells and rocky rills | A |
| O crazy dream O God to be | A |
| A shephard of the hills | A |
