Last Hours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEE FGFGHHBB IHIHDD JBJB| The cool of an oak's unchequered shade | A |
| Falls on me as I lie in deep grass | B |
| Which rushes upward blade beyond blade | A |
| While higher the darting grass flowers pass | B |
| Piercing the blue with their crocketed spires | C |
| And waving flags and the ragged fires | D |
| Of the sorrel's cresset a green brave town | E |
| Vegetable new in renown | E |
| - | |
| Over the tree's edge as over a mountain | F |
| Surges the white of the moon | G |
| A cloud comes up like the surge of a fountain | F |
| Pressing round and low at first but soon | G |
| Heaving and piling a round white dome | H |
| How lovely it is to be at home | H |
| Like an insect in the grass | B |
| Letting life pass | B |
| - | |
| There's a scent of clover crept through my hair | I |
| From the full resource of some purple dome | H |
| Where that lumbering bee who can hardly bear | I |
| His burden above me never has clomb | H |
| But not even the scent of insouciant flowers | D |
| Makes pause the hours | D |
| - | |
| Down the valley roars a townward train | J |
| I hear it through the grass | B |
| Dragging the links of my shortening chain | J |
| Southwards alas | B |
