The Cow Pasture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| I see the harsh wind ridden eastward hill | A |
| By the red cattle pastured blanched with dew | B |
| The small mossed hillocks where the clay gets through | B |
| The grey webs woven on milkweed tops at will | A |
| The sparse pale grasses flicker and are still | A |
| The empty flats yearn seaward All the view | B |
| Is naked to the horizon's utmost blue | B |
| And the bleak spaces stir me with strange thrill | A |
| Not in perfection dwells the subtler power | C |
| To pierce our mean content but rather works | D |
| Through incompletion and the need that irks | D |
| Not in the flower but effort toward the flower | C |
| When the want stirs when the soul's cravings urge | E |
| The strong earth strengthens and the clean heavens purge | E |
