Fragment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DEDEEFEF GHGHHIHI| Faint white pillars that seem to fade | A |
| As you look from here are the first one sees | B |
| Of his house where it hides and dies in a shade | A |
| Of beeches and oaks and hickory trees | B |
| Now many a man given woods like these | B |
| And a house like that and the Briony gold | C |
| Would have said There are still some gods to please | B |
| And houses are built without hands we're told | C |
| - | |
| There are the pillars and all gone gray | D |
| Briony's hair went white You may see | E |
| Where the garden was if you come this way | D |
| That sun dial scared him he said to me | E |
| Sooner or later they strike said he | E |
| And he never got that from the books he read | F |
| Others are flourishing worse than he | E |
| But he knew too much for the life he led | F |
| - | |
| And who knows all knows everything | G |
| That a patient ghost at last retrieves | H |
| There's more to be known of his harvesting | G |
| When Time the thresher unbinds the sheaves | H |
| And there's more to be heard than a wind that grieves | H |
| For Briony now in this ageless oak | I |
| Driving the first of its withered leaves | H |
| Over the stones where the fountain broke | I |
