Carmel Point Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGHIJDDKL| The extraordinary patience of things | A |
| This beautiful place defaced with a crop of surburban houses | B |
| How beautiful when we first beheld it | C |
| Unbroken field of poppy and lupin walled with clean cliffs | D |
| No intrusion but two or three horses pasturing | E |
| Or a few milch cows rubbing their flanks on the outcrop rockheads | D |
| Now the spoiler has come does it care | F |
| Not faintly It has all time It knows the people are a tide | G |
| That swells and in time will ebb and all | H |
| Their works dissolve Meanwhile the image of the pristine beauty | I |
| Lives in the very grain of the granite | J |
| Safe as the endless ocean that climbs our cliff As for us | D |
| We must uncenter our minds from ourselves | D |
| We must unhumanize our views a little and become confident | K |
| As the rock and ocean that we were made from | L |
