The Barn And The Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI CKLK AMKM CNBOt stood in the sunset sky | A |
Like the straight backed down | B |
Many a time the barn | C |
At the edge of town | B |
- | |
So huge and dark that it seemed | D |
It was the hill | E |
Till the gable's precipice proved | F |
It impossible | G |
- | |
Then the great down in the west | H |
Grew into sight | I |
A barn stored full to the ridge | J |
With black of night | I |
- | |
And the barn fell to a barn | C |
Or even less | K |
Before critical eyes and its own | L |
Late mightiness | K |
- | |
But far down and near barn and I | A |
Since then have smiled | M |
Having seen my new cautiousness | K |
By itself beguiled | M |
- | |
To disdain what seemed the barn | C |
Till a few steps changed | N |
It past all doubt to the down | B |
So the barn was avenged | O |
