The Yew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC CCDDEE CCFFAA| The moon gave no light | A |
| The clouds rode slowly over broad and white | A |
| From the soft south west | B |
| The wind that cannot rest | B |
| Soothed and then waked the darkness of the yew | C |
| Until the tree was restless too | C |
| - | |
| Of all the winds I knew | C |
| I thought and how they muttered in the yew | C |
| Or raved under the eaves | D |
| Or nosed the fallen dry leaves | D |
| Or with harsh voice holloa'd the orchard round | E |
| With snapped limbs littering the ground | E |
| - | |
| And I thought how the yew | C |
| Between the window and the west his shadow threw | C |
| Grave and immense | F |
| Darkening the dark past thought and sense | F |
| And how the moon would make the darkness heavenly bright | A |
| But the moon gave no light | A |
