The Old Clock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEFFCC GHIICC| All day low clouds and slanting rain | A |
| Have swept the woods and dimmed the plain | A |
| Wet winds have swayed the birch and oak | B |
| And caught and swirled away the smoke | B |
| But all day long the wooden clock | C |
| Went on Nic noc nic noc | C |
| - | |
| When deep at night I wake with fear | D |
| And shudder in the dark to hear | E |
| The roaring storm's unguided strength | F |
| Peace steals into my heart at length | F |
| When calm amid the shout and shock | C |
| I hear Nic noc nic noc | C |
| - | |
| And all the winter long 't is I | G |
| Who bless its sheer monotony | H |
| Its scorn of days which cares no whit | I |
| For time except to measure it | I |
| The prosy dozy cosy clock | C |
| Nic noc nic noc nic noc | C |
