Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABA CDDCEC FGGFGF HIIHJH HKKHKH| Down through the woods along the way | A |
| That fords the stream by rock and tree | B |
| Where in the bramble bell the bee | B |
| Swings and through twilights green and gray | A |
| The redbird flashes suddenly | B |
| My thoughts went wandering to day | A |
| - | |
| I found the fields where row on row | C |
| The blackberries hang dark with fruit | D |
| Where nesting at the elder's root | D |
| The partridge whistles soft and low | C |
| The fields that billow to the foot | E |
| Of those old hills we used to know | C |
| - | |
| There lay the pond all willow bound | F |
| On whose bright face when noons were hot | G |
| We marked the bubbles rise some plot | G |
| To lure us in while all around | F |
| Our heads like faery fancies shot | G |
| The dragonflies without a sound | F |
| - | |
| The pond above which evening bent | H |
| To gaze upon her gypsy face | I |
| Wherein the twinkling night would trace | I |
| A vague inverted firmament | H |
| In which the green frogs tuned their bass | J |
| And firefly sparkles came and went | H |
| - | |
| The oldtime place we often ranged | H |
| When we were playmates you and I | K |
| The oldtime fields with boyhood's sky | K |
| Still blue above them Naught was changed | H |
| Nothing Alas then tell me why | K |
| Should we be whom the years estranged | H |
