Behind The Closed Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCCB AAAA DDDA EEEF GGGF HHIF| I walk the old frequented ways | A |
| That wind around the tangled braes | A |
| I live again the sunny days | A |
| Ere I the city knew | B |
| - | |
| And scenes of old again are born | C |
| The woodbine lassoing the thorn | C |
| And drooping Ruth like in the corn | C |
| The poppies weep the dew | B |
| - | |
| Above me in their hundred schools | A |
| The magpies bend their young to rules | A |
| And like an apron full of jewels | A |
| The dewy cobweb swings | A |
| - | |
| And frisking in the stream below | D |
| The troutlets make the circles flow | D |
| And the hungry crane doth watch them grow | D |
| As a smoker does his rings | A |
| - | |
| Above me smokes the little town | E |
| With its whitewashed walls and roofs of brown | E |
| And its octagon spire toned smoothly down | E |
| As the holy minds within | F |
| - | |
| And wondrous impudently sweet | G |
| Half of him passion half conceit | G |
| The blackbird calls adown the street | G |
| Like the piper of Hamelin | F |
| - | |
| I hear him and I feel the lure | H |
| Drawing me back to the homely moor | H |
| I'll go and close the mountain's door | I |
| On the city's strife and din | F |
