The Clearing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFE| Stumps and harsh rocks and prostrate trunks all charred | A |
| And gnarled roots naked to the sun and rain | B |
| They seem in their grim stillness to complain | B |
| And be their paint the evening peace is jarred | A |
| These ragged acres fire and the axe have scarred | A |
| And many summers not assuaged their pain | B |
| In vain the pink and saffron light in vain | B |
| The pale dew on the hillocks stripped and marred | A |
| - | |
| But here and there the waste is touched with cheer | C |
| Where spreads the fire weed like a crimson flood | D |
| And venturous plumes of golden rod appear | C |
| And round the blackened fence the great boughs lean | E |
| With comfort and across the solitude | F |
| The hermit's holy transport peals serene | E |
