Poems From "a Shropshire Lad" - Xxvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHHIIJJ| Along the fields as we came by | A |
| A year ago my love and I | A |
| The aspen over stile and stone | B |
| Was talking to itself alone | B |
| Oh who are these that kiss and pass | C |
| A country lover and his lass | C |
| Two lovers looking to be wed | D |
| And time shall put them both to bed | D |
| But she shall lie with earth above | E |
| And he beside another love | E |
| - | |
| And sure enough beneath the tree | F |
| There walks another love with me | F |
| And overhead the aspen heaves | G |
| Its rainy sounding silver leaves | G |
| And I spell nothing in their stir | H |
| But now perhaps they speak to her | H |
| And plain for her to understand | I |
| They talk about a time at hand | I |
| When I shall sleep with clover clad | J |
| And she beside another lad | J |
Alfred Edward Housman
