Your Shadow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAC DEFEDF GCHCGH IJKJLK MCNCMN| From Swindon out to White Horse Hill | A |
| I walked in morning rain | B |
| And saw your shadow lying there | C |
| As clear and plain | B |
| As lies the White Horse on the Hill | A |
| I saw your shadow lying there | C |
| - | |
| Over the wide green downs and bleak | D |
| Unthinking free I walked | E |
| And saw your shadow fluttering by | F |
| Almost it talked | E |
| Answering what I dared not speak | D |
| While thoughts of you ran fluttering by | F |
| - | |
| So on to Baydon sauntered teased | G |
| With that pure native air | C |
| Sometimes the sweetness of wild thyme | H |
| The strings of care | C |
| Did pluck sometimes my soul was eased | G |
| With more than sweetness of wild thyme | H |
| - | |
| Sometimes within a pool I caught | I |
| Your face upturned to mine | J |
| And where sits Chilton by the waters | K |
| Your look did shine | J |
| Wildly in the mill foam that sought | L |
| To hide you in those angry waters | K |
| - | |
| And yet O Sweet you never knew | M |
| Those downs the thymy air | C |
| That with your spirit haunted is | N |
| Yes everywhere | C |
| Ah but my heart is full of you | M |
| And with your shadow haunted is | N |
