Fragment Of A Ballad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEF GGHH IIJJ| Many a mile over land and sea | A |
| Unsummoned my love returned to me | A |
| I remember not the words he said | B |
| But only the trees moaning overhead | B |
| - | |
| And he came ready to take and bear | C |
| The cross I had carried for many a year | D |
| But words came slowly one by one | E |
| From frozen lips shut still and dumb | F |
| - | |
| How sounded my words so still and slow | G |
| To the great strong heart that loved me so | G |
| Who came to save me from pain and wrong | H |
| And to comfort me with his love so strong | H |
| - | |
| I felt the wind strike chill and cold | I |
| And vapours rise from the red brown mould | I |
| I felt the spell that held my breath | J |
| Bending me down to a living death | J |
