At Toledo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIJKLMNOPQO

The little stones chuckle against the fieldsA
'We are so small God will not think of usB
We are so old already we have seenC
So many generations blunt their ploughsD
Tilling the fields we lie in and we dreamE
Of our first sleep among the ancient hills 'F
The grass laughs thinking 'I am born and dieG
And born and die and know not birth or deathH
Only the going on of the green earth 'F
The rivers pass and pass and are the sameI
And I who see the beauty of the worldJ
Pass and am not the same or know it notK
And know the world no more O is not thisL
Some horrible conspiracy of thingsM
That I have known and loved and lingered withN
All my days through and now they turn like hostsO
Who have grown tired of a delaying guestP
They cast me out from their eternityQ
God is in league with their forgetfulnessO
