Birchington Churchyard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| A lowly hill which overlooks a flat | A |
| Half sea half country side | B |
| A flat shored sea of low voiced creeping tide | B |
| Over a chalky weedy mat | A |
| - | |
| A hill of hillocks flowery and kept green | C |
| Round Crosses raised for hope | D |
| With many tinted sunsets where the slope | D |
| Faces the lingering western sheen | C |
| - | |
| A lowly hope a height that is but low | E |
| While Time sets solemnly | F |
| While the tide rises of Eternity | F |
| Silent and neither swift nor slow | E |
