A Haunting Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFGFBB FHFHII JK LKMM NINIEE| Wild rockets blew along the lane | A |
| The tall white gentians too were there | B |
| The mullein stalks were brave again | C |
| Of blossoms was the bramble bare | B |
| And toward the pasture bars below | D |
| The cows went by me tinkling slow | D |
| - | |
| Straight through the sunset flew a thrush | E |
| And sang the only song he knew | F |
| Perched on a ripening elder bush | G |
| Oh but to give his song its due | F |
| Sang it and ceased and left it there | B |
| To haunt bush blade and golden air | B |
| - | |
| Oh but to make it plain to you | F |
| My words were wrought for grosser stuff | H |
| To give that lonely tune its due | F |
| Never a word is sweet enough | H |
| A thing to think on when 'twas past | I |
| As is the first rose or the last | I |
| - | |
| The lad driving his cows along | J |
| Strode whistling through the windy grass | K |
| - | |
| The little pool the shrubs among | L |
| Lay like a bit of yellow glass | K |
| A window in the farmhouse old | M |
| Turned westward was of glaring gold | M |
| - | |
| I have forgotten days and days | N |
| And much well worth the holding fast | I |
| Yet not the look of those green ways | N |
| The bramble with its bloom long past | I |
| The tinkling cows the scent the hush | E |
| Still on the eider sings that thrush | E |
