The Potato Harvest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| A high bare field brown from the plough and borne | A |
| Aslant from sunset amber wastes of sky | B |
| Washing the ridge a clamour of crows that fly | B |
| In from the wide flats where the spent tides mourn | A |
| To yon their rocking roosts in pines wind torn | A |
| A line of grey snake fence that zigzags by | B |
| A pond and cattle from the homestead nigh | B |
| The long deep summonings of the supper horn | A |
| Black on the ridge against that lonely flush | C |
| A cart and stoop necked oxen ranged beside | D |
| Some barrels and the day worn harvest folk | E |
| Here emptying their baskets jar the hush | C |
| With hollow thunders Down the dusk hillside | D |
| Lumbers the wain and day fades out like smoke | E |
