A Little Scraping Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLIMNOPQRS TIUV| True the time to one who does not love farce | A |
| And if misery must be prefers it nobler shows apparent vices | B |
| At least it provides the cure for ambition | C |
| One does not crave power in ant hills nor praise in a paper forest | D |
| One must not even indulge the severe | E |
| Romance of separateness as of Milton grown blind and old | F |
| In his broken temple against the drunkards | G |
| The ants are good creatures there is nothing to be heroic about | H |
| But the time is not a strong prison either | I |
| A little scraping the walls of dishonest contractor's concrete | J |
| Through a shower of chips and sand makes freedom | K |
| Shake the dust from your hair This mountain sea coast is real | L |
| For it reaches out far into past and future | I |
| It is part of the great and timeless excellence of things A few | M |
| Lean cows drift high up the bronze hill | N |
| The heavy necked plow team furrows the foreland gulls tread the furrow | O |
| Time ebbs and flows but the rock remains | P |
| Two riders of tired horses canter on the cloudy ridge | Q |
| Topaz eyed hawks have the white air | R |
| Or a woman with jade pale eyes hiding a knife in her hand | S |
| Goes through cold rain over gray grass | T |
| God is here too secretly smiling the beautiful power | I |
| That piles up cities for the poem of their fall | U |
| And gathers multitude like game to be hunted when the season comes | V |
