Trees Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAF GHIJGKL AMKNO

Crooked black treeA
on your little grey black hillockB
ridiculously raised one step towardC
the infinite summits of the nightD
even you the few grey starsE
draw upward into a vague melodyA
of harsh threadsF
-
Bent as you are from strainingG
against the bitter horizontals ofH
a north wind there below youI
how easily the long yellow notesJ
of poplars flow upward in a descendingG
scale each note secure in its ownK
posture singularly wovenL
-
All voices are blent willinglyA
against the heaving contra bassM
of the dark but you aloneK
warp yourself passionately to one sideN
in your eagernessO

William Carlos Williams
