In Midas' Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACA DEFGH IJKLK MMMMM NONPQ| Meadows of gold dust The silver | A |
| Currents of the Connecticut fan | B |
| And meander in bland pleatings under | A |
| River verge farms where rye heads whiten | C |
| All's polished to a dull luster | A |
| - | |
| In the sulfurous noon We move | D |
| With the languor of idols below | E |
| The sky's great bell glass and briefly engrave | F |
| Our limbs' image on a field of straw | G |
| And goldenrod as on gold leaf | H |
| - | |
| It might be heaven this static | I |
| Plenitude apples gold on the bough | J |
| Goldfinch goldfish golden tiger cat stock | K |
| Still in one gigantic tapestry | L |
| And lovers affable dovelike | K |
| - | |
| But now the water skiers race | M |
| Bracing their knees On unseen towlines | M |
| They cleave the river's greening patinas | M |
| The mirror quivers to smithereens | M |
| They stunt like clowns in the circus | M |
| - | |
| So we are hauled though we would stop | N |
| On this amber bank where grasses bleach | O |
| Already the farmer's after his crop | N |
| August gives over its Midas touch | P |
| Wind bares a flintier landscape | Q |
