Chains Invisible Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJKELCL BDBDMNMN| THE lilies in my garden grow | A |
| Wide meadows ring my garden round | B |
| In that green copse wild violets blow | A |
| And pale frail cuckoo flowers are found | B |
| For all you see and all you hear | C |
| The city might be miles away | D |
| And yet you feel the city near | E |
| Through all the quiet of the day | D |

| Sweet smells the earth wet with sweet rain | F |
| Sweet lilac waves in moonlight pale | G |
| And from the wood beyond the lane | F |
| I hear the hidden nightingale | G |
| Though field and wood about me lie | H |
| Hushed soft in dew and deep delight | I |
| Yet can I hear the city's sigh | H |
| Through all the silence of the night | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| For me the skylark builds and sings | J |
| For me the vine her garland weaves | K |
| The swallow folds her glossy wings | J |
| To build beneath my cottage eaves | K |
| But I can feel the giant near | E |
| Can hear his slaves by daylight weep | L |
| And when at last the night is here | C |
| I hear him moaning in his sleep | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh for a little space of ground | B |
| Though not a flower should make it gay | D |
| Where miles of meadows wrapped me round | B |
| And leagues and leagues of silence lay | D |
| Oh for a wind lashed treeless down | M |
| A black night and a rising sea | N |
| And never a thought of London town | M |
| To steal the world's delight from me | N |
