Seven Times Two. Romance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GEGE GHGH GIGI GJGJ KEKE| You bells in the steeple ring ring out your changes | A |
| How many soever they be | B |
| And let the brown meadow lark's note as he ranges | A |
| Come over come over to me | B |
| - | |
| Yet bird's clearest carol by fall or by swelling | C |
| No magical sense conveys | D |
| And bells have forgotten their old art of telling | C |
| The fortune of future days | D |
| - | |
| Turn again turn again once they rang cheerily | E |
| While a boy listened alone | F |
| Made his heart yearn again musing so wearily | E |
| All by himself on a stone | F |
| - | |
| Poor bells I forgive you your good days are over | G |
| And mine they are yet to be | E |
| No listening no longing shall aught aught discover | G |
| You leave the story to me | E |
| - | |
| The foxglove shoots out of the green matted heather | G |
| And hangeth her hoods of snow | H |
| She was idle and slept till the sunshiny weather | G |
| O children take long to grow | H |
| - | |
| I wish and I wish that the spring would go faster | G |
| Nor long summer bide so late | I |
| And I could grow on like the foxglove and aster | G |
| For some things are ill to wait | I |
| - | |
| I wait for the day when dear hearts shall discover | G |
| While dear hands are laid on my head | J |
| The child is a woman the book may close over | G |
| For all the lessons are said | J |
| - | |
| I wait for my story the birds cannot sing it | K |
| Not one as he sits on the tree | E |
| The bells cannot ring it but long years O bring it | K |
| Such as I wish it to be | E |
