The Change Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI JKJK| Last year I heard the songs of birds | A |
| And heard the trumpets of the bees | B |
| I caught the winding river s words | A |
| And clutched at leaves of trees | B |
| - | |
| I heard the gales upon the height | C |
| And heard each frightened windy rush | D |
| I lay within the sultry night | C |
| Eaves dropping in the bush | E |
| - | |
| But now I walk within a town | F |
| And hear the slyness of its feet | G |
| Great cruel things stride up and down | F |
| Within a shady street | G |
| - | |
| I see quick things with ugly nails | H |
| And hear their low half smothered cries | I |
| I hear men tell strange trembling tales | H |
| With big beseeching eyes | I |
| - | |
| I do not hear the singing bough | J |
| I hear soft murders in a lane | K |
| I do not feel the bush call now | J |
| I feel my brother s pain | K |
