Prairie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHJ KLML| Where yesterday rolled long waves of gold | A |
| Beneath the burnished blue of the sky | B |
| A silver white sea lies still and cold | A |
| And a bitter wind blows by | B |
| - | |
| But nothing passes the door all day | C |
| Though my watching eyes grow worn and dim | D |
| Save a lean grey wolf that swings away | C |
| To the far horizon rim | D |
| - | |
| Then one by one the stars glisten out | E |
| Like frozen tears on a purple pall | F |
| The darkness folds my cabin about | E |
| And the snow begins to fall | G |
| - | |
| I will make a hearth fire red and bright | H |
| And set a light by the window pane | I |
| For one who follows the trail to night | H |
| That will bring him home again | J |
| - | |
| Love will ride with him my heart to bless | K |
| Joy will out step him across the floor | L |
| What matters the great white loneliness | M |
| When we bar the cabin door | L |
