Over The Hills And Far Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFC GGHHC IIJJCC| A LITTLE bird flew my window by | A |
| 'Twixt the level street and the level sky | A |
| The level rows of houses tall | B |
| The long low sun on the level wall | B |
| And all that the little bird did say | C |
| Was 'Over the hills and far away ' | D |
| - | |
| A little bird sang behind my chair | E |
| From the level line of corn fields fair | E |
| The smooth green hedgerow's level bound | F |
| Not a furlong off the horizon's bound | F |
| And the level lawn where the sun all day | C |
| Burns 'Over the hills and far away ' | - |
| - | |
| A little bird sings above my bed | G |
| And I know if I could but lift my head | G |
| I would see the sun set round and grand | H |
| Upon level sea and level sand | H |
| While beyond the misty distance gray | C |
| Is 'Over the hills and far away ' | - |
| - | |
| I think that a little bird will sing | I |
| Over a grassy mound next spring | I |
| Where something that once was me ye'll leave | J |
| In the level sunshine morn and eve | J |
| But I shall be gone past night past day | C |
| Over the hills and far away | C |
