Home From Abroad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKJ LMNM| Far fetched with tales of other worlds and ways | A |
| My skin well oiled with wines of the Levant | B |
| I set my face into a filial smile | C |
| To greet the pale domestic kiss of Kent | D |
| - | |
| But shall I never learn That gawky girl | E |
| Recalled so primly in my foreign thoughts | F |
| Becomes again the green haired queen of love | G |
| Whose wanton form dilates as it delights | H |
| - | |
| Her rolling tidal landscape floods the eye | I |
| And drowns Chianti in a dusky stream | J |
| he flower flecked grasses swim with simple horses | K |
| The hedges choke with roses fat as cream | J |
| - | |
| So do I breathe the hayblown airs of home | L |
| And watch the sea green elms drip birds and shadows | M |
| And as the twilight nets the plunging sun | N |
| My heart's keel slides to rest among the meadows | M |
