Bells For John Whiteside's Daughter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB CDCD EFEF GHGH AIAI| There was such speed in her little body | A |
| And such lightness in her footfall | B |
| It is no wonder her brown study Astonishes us all | B |
| - | |
| Her wars were bruited in our high window | C |
| We looked among orchard trees and beyond | D |
| Where she took arms against her shadow | C |
| Or harried unto the pond | D |
| - | |
| The lazy geese like a snow cloud | E |
| Dripping their snow on the green grass | F |
| Tricking and stopping sleepy and proud | E |
| Who cried in goose Alas | F |
| - | |
| For the tireless heart within the little | G |
| Lady with rod that made them rise | H |
| From their noon apple dreams and scuttle | G |
| Goose fashion under the skies | H |
| - | |
| But now go the bells and we are ready | A |
| In one house we are sternly stopped | I |
| To say we are vexed at her brown study | A |
| Lying so primly propped | I |
