Pastoral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFGHIJK| The Dove walks with sticky feet | A |
| Upon the green crowns of the almond tree | B |
| Its feathers smeared over with warmth | C |
| Like honey | B |
| That dips lazily down into the shadow | D |
| - | |
| Anyone standing in that orchard So filled with peace and sleep | E |
| Would hardly have noticed the hill | F |
| Nearby | G |
| With its three strange wooden arms | H |
| Lifted above a throng of motionless people | I |
| Above the helmets of Pilate's soldiers | J |
| Flashing like silver teeth in the sun | K |
