The Combe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBAFGH| The Combe was ever dark ancient and dark | A |
| Its mouth is stopped with brambles thorn and briar | B |
| And no one scrambles over the sliding chalk | C |
| By beech and yew and perishing juniper | B |
| Down the half precipices of its sides with roots | D |
| And rabbit holes for steps The sun of Winter | B |
| The moon of Summer and all the singing birds | E |
| Except the missel thrush that loves juniper | B |
| Are quite shut out But far more ancient and dark | A |
| The Combe looks since they killed the badger there | F |
| Dug him out and gave him to the hounds | G |
| That most ancient Briton of English beasts | H |
