The Prairie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA AACA AAAA DDEA AAFA| I see the grass shake in the sun for leagues on either hand | A |
| I see a river loop and run about a treeless land | A |
| An empty plain a steely pond a distance diamond clear | B |
| And low blue naked hills beyond And what is that to fear quot | A |
| - | |
| quot Go softly by that river side or when you would depart | A |
| You'll find its every winding tied and knotted round your heart | A |
| Be wary as the seasons pass or you may ne'er outrun | C |
| The wind that sets that yellowed grass a shiver 'neath the Sun quot | A |
| - | |
| I hear the summer storm outblown the drip of the grateful wheat | A |
| I hear the hard trail telephone a far off horse's feet | A |
| I hear the horns of Autumn blow to the wild fowl overhead | A |
| And I hear the hush before the snow And what is that to dread quot | A |
| - | |
| quot Take heed what spell the lightning weaves what charm the echoes shape | D |
| Or bound among a million sheaves your soul shall not escape | D |
| Bar home the door of summer nights lest those high planets drown | E |
| The memory of near delights in all the longed for town quot | A |
| - | |
| quot What need have I to long or fear Now friendly I behold | A |
| My faithful seasons robe the year in silver and in gold | A |
| Now I possess and am possessed of the land where I would be | F |
| And the curve of half Earth's generous breast shall soothe and ravish me quot | A |
