Letter From Town: On A Grey Evening In March Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA BDBD BABA| The clouds are pushing in grey reluctance slowly northward to you | A |
| While north of them all at the farthest ends stands one bright bosomed aglance | B |
| With fire as it guards the wild north cloud coasts red fire seas running through | A |
| The rocks where ravens flying to windward melt as a well shot lance | B |
| - | |
| You should be out by the orchard where violets secretly darken the earth | C |
| Or there in the woods of the twilight with northern wind flowers shaken astir | A |
| Think of me here in the library trying and trying a song that is worth | C |
| Tears and swords to my heart arrows no armour will turn or deter | A |
| - | |
| You tell me the lambs have come they lie like daisies white in the grass | B |
| Of the dark green hills new calves in shed peewits turn after the plough | D |
| It is well for you For me the navvies work in the road where I pass | B |
| And I want to smite in anger the barren rock of each waterless brow | D |
| - | |
| Like the sough of a wind that is caught up high in the mesh of the budding trees | B |
| A sudden car goes sweeping past and I strain my soul to hear | A |
| The voice of the furtive triumphant engine as it rushes past like a breeze | B |
| To hear on its mocking triumphance unwitting the after echo of fear | A |
