Sunday Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBC CDDEE FGHH| Down the road someone is practising scales | A |
| The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails | A |
| Man's heart expands to tinker with his car | B |
| For this is Sunday morning Fate's great bazaar | B |
| Regard these means as ends concentrate on this Now | C |
| - | |
| And you may grow to music or drive beyond Hindhead anyhow | C |
| Take corners on two wheels until you go so fast | D |
| That you can clutch a fringe or two of the windy past | D |
| That you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time | E |
| A small eternity a sonnet self contained in rhyme | E |
| - | |
| But listen up the road something gulps the church spire | F |
| Open its eight bells out skulls' mouths which will not tire | G |
| To tell how there is no music or movement which secures | H |
| Escape from the weekday time Which deadens and endures | H |
