A Haunting Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFGFBB FHFHII JK LKMM NINIEE

Wild rockets blew along the laneA
The tall white gentians too were thereB
The mullein stalks were brave againC
Of blossoms was the bramble bareB
And toward the pasture bars belowD
The cows went by me tinkling slowD
-
Straight through the sunset flew a thrushE
And sang the only song he knewF
Perched on a ripening elder bushG
Oh but to give his song its dueF
Sang it and ceased and left it thereB
To haunt bush blade and golden airB
-
Oh but to make it plain to youF
My words were wrought for grosser stuffH
To give that lonely tune its dueF
Never a word is sweet enoughH
A thing to think on when 'twas pastI
As is the first rose or the lastI
-
The lad driving his cows alongJ
Strode whistling through the windy grassK
-
The little pool the shrubs amongL
Lay like a bit of yellow glassK
A window in the farmhouse oldM
Turned westward was of glaring goldM
-
I have forgotten days and daysN
And much well worth the holding fastI
Yet not the look of those green waysN
The bramble with its bloom long pastI
The tinkling cows the scent the hushE
Still on the eider sings that thrushE
