Tor House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWFXYZA2B2C2QX D2| If you should look for this place after a handful | A |
| of lifetimes | B |
| Perhaps of my planted forest a few | C |
| May stand yet dark leaved Australians or the coast | D |
| cypress haggard | E |
| With storm drift but fire and the axe are devils | F |
| Look for foundations of sea worn granite my fingers | G |
| had the art | H |
| To make stone love stone you will find some remnant | I |
| But if you should look in your idleness after ten | J |
| thousand years | K |
| It is the granite knoll on the granite | L |
| And lava tongue in the midst of the bay by the mouth | M |
| of the Carmel | N |
| River valley these four will remain | O |
| In the change of names You will know it by the wild | P |
| sea fragrance of wind | Q |
| Though the ocean may have climbed or retired a little | R |
| You will know it by the valley inland that our sun | S |
| and our moon were born from | T |
| Before the poles changed and Orion in December | U |
| Evenings was strung in the throat of the valley like | V |
| a lamp lighted bridge | W |
| Come in the morning you will see white gulls | F |
| Weaving a dance over blue water the wane of the moon | X |
| Their dance companion a ghost walking | Y |
| By daylight but wider and whiter than any bird in | Z |
| the world | A2 |
| My ghost you needn't look for it is probably | B2 |
| Here but a dark one deep in the granite not | C2 |
| dancing on wind | Q |
| With the mad wings and the day moon | X |
