Salmon-fishing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHHBIBDJHK| The days shorten the south blows wide for showers now | A |
| The south wind shouts to the rivers | B |
| The rivers open their mouths and the salt salmon | C |
| Race up into the freshet | D |
| In Christmas month against the smoulder and menace | E |
| Of a long angry sundown | F |
| Red ash of the dark solstice you see the anglers | B |
| Pitiful cruel primeval | G |
| Like the priests of the people that built Stonehengc | H |
| Dark silent forms performing | H |
| Remote solemnities in the red shallows | B |
| Of the river's mouth at the year's turn | I |
| Drawing landward their live bullion the bloody mouths | B |
| And scales full of the sunset | D |
| Twitch on the rocks no more to wander at will | J |
| The wild Pacific pasture nor wanton and spawning | H |
| Race up into fresh water | K |
