George Macdonald Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCDEAEAFGFG| I HEARD him preach in Oxford years ago | A |
| A snowy haired and tender faced apostle | B |
| I watched the beech against the window blow | A |
| And listened to the throstle | A |
| And still a waving branch to memory brings | C |
| Those deepset eyes and drooping lids as pressed | D |
| Upon too much by earthly visionings | C |
| And wistful for their rest | D |
| Still in the flutings of a thrush will sound | E |
| Words that upon us then but lightly fell | A |
| Because they were as simple and profound | E |
| As some brief parable | A |
| Told by the Master to the hungry folk | F |
| While the disciples murmured but the foam | G |
| Wrote it again on Patmos and it spoke | F |
| Above the rage of Rome | G |
