From The North Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| The northern woods are delicately sweet | A |
| The lake is folded softly by the shore | B |
| But I am restless for the subway's roar | B |
| The thunder and the hurrying of feet | A |
| I try to sleep but still my eyelids beat | A |
| Against the image of the tower that bore | B |
| Me high aloft as if thru heaven's door | B |
| I watched the world from God's unshaken seat | A |
| I would go back and breathe with quickened sense | C |
| The tunnel's strong hot breath of powdered steel | D |
| But at the ferries I should leave the tense | C |
| Dark air behind and I should mount and be | E |
| One among many who are thrilled to feel | D |
| The first keen sea breath from the open sea | E |
