The Evenlode Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEE DEDE BDBD| I will not try to reach again | A |
| I will not set my sail alone | B |
| To moor a boat bereft of men | A |
| At Yarnton's tiny docks of stone | B |
| - | |
| But I will sit beside the fire | C |
| And put my hand before my eyes | D |
| And trace to fill my heart's desire | C |
| The last of all our Odysseys | D |
| - | |
| The quiet evening kept her tryst | E |
| Beneath an open sky we rode | F |
| And passed into a wandering mist | E |
| Along the perfect Evenlode | E |
| - | |
| The tender Evenlode that makes | D |
| Her meadows hush to hear the sound | E |
| Of waters mingling in the brakes | D |
| And binds my heart to English ground | E |
| - | |
| A lovely river all alone | B |
| She lingers in the hills and holds | D |
| A hundred little towns of stone | B |
| Forgotten in the western wolds | D |
