Archibald's Example Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLML NAOA| Old Archibald in his eternal chair | A |
| Where trespassers whatever their degree | B |
| Were soon frowned out again was looking off | C |
| Across the clover when he said to me | B |
| - | |
| My green hill yonder where the sun goes down | D |
| Without a scratch was once inhabited | E |
| By trees that injured him an evil trash | F |
| That made a cage and held him while he bled | G |
| - | |
| Gone fifty years I see them as they were | H |
| Before they fell They were a crooked lot | I |
| To spoil my sunset and I saw no time | J |
| In fifty years for crooked things to rot | I |
| - | |
| Trees yes but not a service or a joy | K |
| To God or man for they were thieves of light | L |
| So down they came Nature and I looked on | M |
| And we were glad when they were out of sight | L |
| - | |
| Trees are like men sometimes and that being so | N |
| So much for that He twinkled in his chair | A |
| And looked across the clover to the place | O |
| That he remembered when the trees were there | A |
