Milton Read Again (in Surrey) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC BEEB FGGF HCCH| Three golden months while summer on us stole | A |
| I have read your joyful tale another time | B |
| Breathing more freely in that larger clime | B |
| And learning wiselier to deserve the whole | A |
| - | |
| Your Spirit Master has been close at hand | C |
| And guided me still pointing treasures rare | D |
| Thick sown where I before saw nothing fair | D |
| And finding waters in the barren land | C |
| - | |
| Barren once thought because my eyes were dim | B |
| Like one I am grown to whom the common field | E |
| And often wandered copse one morning yield | E |
| New pleasures suddenly for over him | B |
| - | |
| Falls the weird spirit of unexplained delight | F |
| New mystery in every shady place | G |
| In every whispering tree a nameless grace | G |
| New rapture on the windy seaward height | F |
| - | |
| So may she come to me teaching me well | H |
| To savour all these sweets that lie to hand | C |
| In wood and lane about this pleasant land | C |
| Though it be not the land where I would dwell | H |
