Rhyme Scheme: AB BC DB EF GB FH FI

There it was word for wordA
The poem that took the place of a mountainB
-
He breathed its oxygenB
Even when the book lay turned in the dust of his tableC
-
It reminded him how he had neededD
A place to go to in his own directionB
-
How he had recomposed the pinesE
Shifted the rocks and picked his way among cloudsF
-
For the outlook that would be rightG
Where he would be complete in an unexplained completionB
-
The exact rock where his inexactnessF
Would discover at last the view toward which they had edgedH
-
Where he could lie and gazing down at the seaF
Recognize his unique and solitary homeI
