Mountain Pines Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| In scornful upright loneliness they stand | A |
| Counting themselves no kin of anything | B |
| Whether of earth or sky Their gnarled roots cling | B |
| Like wasted fingers of a clutching hand | A |
| In the grim rock A silent spectral band | A |
| They watch the old sky but hold no communing | B |
| With aught Only when some lone eagle's wing | B |
| Flaps past above their grey and desolate land | A |
| Or when the wind pants up a rough hewn glen | C |
| Bending them down as with an age of thought | D |
| Or when mid flying clouds that can not dull | E |
| Her constant light the moon shines silver then | C |
| They find a soul and their dim moan is wrought | D |
| Into a singing sad and beautiful | E |
