A Passing Bell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE AACDA FGHIG FAHIA| Mournfully to and fro to and fro the trees are waving | A |
| What did you say my dear | B |
| The rain bruised leaves are suddenly shaken as a child | C |
| Asleep still shakes in the clutch of a sob | D |
| Yes my love I hear | E |
| - | |
| One lonely bell one only the storm tossed afternoon is braving | A |
| Why not let it ring | A |
| The roses lean down when they hear it the tender mild | C |
| Flowers of the bleeding heart fall to the throb | D |
| It is such a little thing | A |
| - | |
| A wet bird walks on the lawn call to the boy to come and look | F |
| Yes it is over now | G |
| Call to him out of the silence call him to see | H |
| The starling shaking its head as it walks in the grass | I |
| Ah who knows how | G |
| - | |
| He cannot see it I can never show it him how it shook | F |
| Don t disturb him darling | A |
| Its head as it walked I can never call him to me | H |
| Never he is not whatever shall come to pass | I |
| No look at the wet starling | A |
