Hold Hard, These Ancient Minutes In The Cuckoo's Month Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJKL MBNOPQ RSTUVT| Hold hard these ancient minutes in the cuckoo's month | A |
| Under the lank fourth folly on Glamorgan's hill | B |
| As the green blooms ride upward to the drive of time | C |
| Time in a folly's rider like a county man | D |
| Over the vault of ridings with his hound at heel | E |
| Drives forth my men my children from the hanging south | F |
| - | |
| Country your sport is summer and December's pools | G |
| By crane and water tower by the seedy trees | H |
| Lie this fifth month unstaked and the birds have flown | I |
| Holy hard my country children in the world if tales | J |
| The greenwood dying as the deer fall in their tracks | K |
| The first and steepled season to the summer's game | L |
| - | |
| And now the horns of England in the sound of shape | M |
| Summon your snowy horsemen and the four stringed hill | B |
| Over the sea gut loudening sets a rock alive | N |
| Hurdles and guns and railings as the boulders heave | O |
| Crack like a spring in vice bone breaking April | P |
| Spill the lank folly's hunter and the hard held hope | Q |
| - | |
| Down fall four padding weathers on the scarlet lands | R |
| Stalking my children's faces with a tail of blood | S |
| Time in a rider rising from the harnessed valley | T |
| Hold hard my country darlings for a hawk descends | U |
| Golden Glamorgan straightens to the falling birds | V |
| Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily | T |
