The Aerodrome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI JDJD KLKH| So now the aerodrome goes up | A |
| Upon my father's fields | B |
| And gone is all the golden crop | C |
| And all the pleasant yields | B |
| - | |
| They tear the trees up branch and root | D |
| They kill the hedges green | E |
| As though some force malign and brute | D |
| Ravaged the peace serene | E |
| - | |
| There where he used to sit and gaze | F |
| With blue and quiet eyes | G |
| Watching his comely cattle graze | F |
| The walls begin to rise | G |
| - | |
| What place for robin or for wren | H |
| For thrush and blackbird's call | I |
| Now there shall be but flying men | H |
| Nor any bird at all | I |
| - | |
| 'Twas well he did not stay to know | J |
| Defaced and all defiled | D |
| The quiet fields of long ago | J |
| Dear to him as a child | D |
| - | |
| But when the tale was told to me | K |
| I felt such piercing pain | L |
| They tore my heart up with the tree | K |
| That will not leaf again | H |
