Archibald's Example Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLML NAOAOld 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 |
