The Manor Farm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJKJDLAM KNOMPAQ| THE rock like mud unfroze a little and rills | A |
| Ran and sparkled down each side of the road | B |
| Under the catkins wagging in the hedge | C |
| But earth would have her sleep out spite of the sun | D |
| Nor did I value that thin gilding beam | E |
| More than a pretty February thing | F |
| Till I came down to the old Manor Farm | G |
| And church and yew tree opposite in age | H |
| Its equals and in size The church and yew | I |
| And farmhouse slept in a Sunday silentness | A |
| The air raised not a straw The steep farm roof | J |
| With tiles duskily glowing entertained | K |
| The mid day sun and up and down the roof | J |
| White pigeons nestled There was no sound but one | D |
| Three cart horses were looking over a gate | L |
| Drowsily through their forelocks swishing their tails | A |
| Against a fly a solitary fly | M |
| - | |
| The Winter's cheek flushed as if he had drained | K |
| Spring Summer and Autumn at a draught | N |
| And smiled quietly But 'twas not winter | O |
| Rather a season of bliss unchangeable | M |
| Awakened from farm and church where it had lain | P |
| Safe under tile and thatch for ages since | A |
| This England Old already was called Merry | Q |
