Over The Hills Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEACEFGHFHGIGIJJ| Often and often it came back again | A |
| To mind the day I passed the horizon ridge | B |
| To a new country the path I had to find | C |
| By half gaps that were stiles once in the hedge | D |
| The pack of scarlet clouds running across | E |
| The harvest evening that seemed endless then | A |
| And after and the inn where all were kind | C |
| All were strangers I did not know my loss | E |
| Till one day twelve months later suddenly | F |
| I leaned upon my spade and saw it all | G |
| Though far beyond the sky line It became | H |
| Almost a habit through the year for me | F |
| To lean and see it and think to do the same | H |
| Again for two days and a night Recall | G |
| Was vain no more could the restless brook | I |
| Ever turn back and climb the waterfall | G |
| To the lake that rests and stirs not in its nook | I |
| As in the hollow of the collar bone | J |
| Under the mountain's head of rush and stone | J |
