At Toledo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIJKLMNOPQOThe little stones chuckle against the fields | A |
'We are so small God will not think of us | B |
We are so old already we have seen | C |
So many generations blunt their ploughs | D |
Tilling the fields we lie in and we dream | E |
Of our first sleep among the ancient hills ' | F |
The grass laughs thinking 'I am born and die | G |
And born and die and know not birth or death | H |
Only the going on of the green earth ' | F |
The rivers pass and pass and are the same | I |
And I who see the beauty of the world | J |
Pass and am not the same or know it not | K |
And know the world no more O is not this | L |
Some horrible conspiracy of things | M |
That I have known and loved and lingered with | N |
All my days through and now they turn like hosts | O |
Who have grown tired of a delaying guest | P |
They cast me out from their eternity | Q |
God is in league with their forgetfulness | O |
