At Cashel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FFGHH IIJJJ

ABOVE me stand worn from their ancient useA
The King's the Bishop's and the Warrior's houseB
Quiet as folds upon a grassy knollC
Stark grey they stand wall joined to ancient wallD
Chapel and Castle and CathedralE
-
It is not they are old but stone by stoneF
Into another lifetime they have grownF
The life of memories an old man hasG
They dream upon what things have come to passH
And know that stones grow friendly with the grassH
-
The name has crumbled CASHEL that has comeI
From conqueror challenging CASTELLUMI
Walls m a name No citadel is hereJ
Now as a fane the empty walls uprearJ
Where green and greener grass spreads far and nearJ
