Jonathan Houghton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS TUVD| There is the caw of a crow | A |
| And the hesitant song of a thrush | B |
| There is the tinkle of a cowbell far away | C |
| And the voice of a plowman on Shipley's hill | D |
| The forest beyond the orchard is still | D |
| With midsummer stillness | E |
| And along the road a wagon chuckles | F |
| Loaded with corn going to Atterbury | G |
| And an old man sits under a tree asleep | H |
| And an old woman crosses the road | I |
| Coming from the orchard with a bucket of blackberries | J |
| And a boy lies in the grass | K |
| Near the feet of the old man | L |
| And looks up at the sailing clouds | M |
| And longs and longs and longs | N |
| For what he knows not | O |
| For manhood for life for the unknown world | P |
| Then thirty years passed | Q |
| And the boy returned worn out by life | R |
| And found the orchard vanished | S |
| And the forest gone | T |
| And the house made over | U |
| And the roadway filled with dust from automobiles | V |
| And himself desiring The Hill | D |
