For These Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CBBC DEED FGGF| An acre of land between the shore and the hills | A |
| Upon a ledge that shows my kingdoms three | B |
| The lovely visible earth and sky and sea | B |
| Where what the curlew needs not the farmer tills | B |
| - | |
| A house that shall love me as I love it | C |
| Well hedged and honoured by a few ash trees | B |
| That linnets greenfinches and goldfinches | B |
| Shall often visit and make love in and flit | C |
| - | |
| A garden I need never go beyond | D |
| Broken but neat whose sunflowers every one | E |
| Are fit to be the sign of the Rising Sun | E |
| A spring a brook's bend or at least a pond | D |
| - | |
| For these I ask not but neither too late | F |
| Nor yet too early for what men call content | G |
| And also that something may be sent | G |
| To be contented with I ask of Fate | F |
