Once It Was The Colour Of Saying Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDCEFDAG

Once it was the colour of sayingA
Soaked my table the uglier side of a hillB
With a capsized field where a school sat stillB
And a black and white patch of girls grew playingA
The gentle seaslides of saying I must undoC
That all the charmingly drowned arise to cockcrow and killB
When I whistled with mitching boys through a reservoir parkD
Where at night we stoned the cold and cuckooC
Lovers in the dirt of their leafy bedsE
The shade of their trees was a word of many shadesF
And a lamp of lightning for the poor in the darkD
Now my saying shall be my undoingA
And every stone I wind off like a reelG
