Readjustment. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDECFGGFDE| After the earthquake shock or lightning dart | A |
| Comes a recoil of silence o'er the lands | B |
| And then with pulses hot and quivering hands | B |
| Earth calls up courage to her mighty heart | A |
| Plies every tender compensating art | A |
| Draws her green flowery veil above the scar | C |
| Fills the shrunk hollow smooths the riven plain | D |
| And with a century's tendance heals again | E |
| The seams and gashes which her fairness mar | C |
| So we when sudden woe like lightning sped | F |
| Finds us and smites us in our guarded place | G |
| After one brief bewildered moment's space | G |
| By the same heavenly instinct taught and led | F |
| Adjust our lives to loss make friends with pain | D |
| Bind all our shattered hopes and bid them bloom again | E |
