To The Leaven'd Soil They Trod Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRPS TJ

TO the leaven'd soil they trod calling I sing for the lastA
Not cities nor man alone nor war nor the deadB
But forth from my tent emerging for good loosing untying the tentC
ropesD
In the freshness the forenoon air in the far stretching circuitsE
and vistas again to peace restoredF
To the fiery fields emanative and the endless vistas beyond to theG
south and the northH
To the leaven'd soil of the general western world to attest myI
songsJ
To the average earth the wordless earth witness of war and peaceK
To the Alleghanian hills and the tireless MississippiL
To the rocks I calling sing and all the trees in the woodsM
To the plain of the poems of heroes to the prairie spreadingN
wideO
To the far off sea and the unseen winds and the same impalpableP
airQ
And responding they answer all but not in wordsR
The average earth the witness of war and peace acknowledges mutelyP
The prairie draws me close as the father to bosom broad the sonS
The Northern ice and rain that began me nourish me to the endT
But the hot sun of the South is to ripen my songsJ
