Homesick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFG HHIIJJ KK LLFG| I shut my eyes to rest 'em just a bit ago it seems | A |
| An' back among the Cotswolds I were wanderin' in me dreams | A |
| I saw the old grey homestead with the rickyard set around | B |
| An' catched the lowin' of the herd a pleasant homelike sound | B |
| Then on I went a singin' through the pastures where the sheep | C |
| Was lyin' underneath the elms a tryin' for to sleep | C |
| - | |
| An' where the stream was tricklin' by half stifled by the grass | D |
| Heaped over thick with buttercups I saw the corncrake pass | D |
| For 'twas Summer Summer SUMMER An' the blue forget me nots | E |
| Wiped out this dusty city and the smoky chimbley pots | E |
| I clean forgot My Lady's gown the dazzlin' sights I've seen | F |
| I was back among the Cotswolds where me heart has always been | G |
| - | |
| Then through the sixteen acre on I went a stiffish climb | H |
| Right to the bridge where all our sheep comes up at shearin' time | H |
| There was the wild briar roses hangin' down so pink an' sweet | I |
| A droppin' o' their fragrance on the clover at my feet | I |
| An' here me heart stopped beatin' for down by Gatcombe's Wood | J |
| My lad was workin' with his team as only my lad could | J |
| - | |
| COME BACK was what the tricklin' brook an' breezes seemed to say | K |
| 'TIS LONESOME ON THE COTSWOLDS NOW THAT MARY DREW'S AWAY | K |
| - | |
| An' back again I'm goin' for me wages has been paid | L |
| An' they're lookin' through the papers for another kitchen maid | L |
| Back to the old grey homestead an' the uplands cool an' green | F |
| To my lad among the Cotswolds where me heart has always been | G |
