Inniskeen Road: July Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDBEBEFF| The bicycles go by in twos and threes | A |
| There's a dance in Billy Brennan's barn to night | B |
| And there's the half talk code of mysteries | A |
| And the wink and elbow language of delight | B |
| Half past eight and there is not a spot | C |
| Upon a mile of road no shadow thrown | D |
| That might turn out a man or woman not | C |
| A footfall tapping secrecies of stone | D |
| I have what every poet hates in spite | B |
| Of all the solemn talk of contemplation | E |
| Oh Alexander Selkirk knew the plight | B |
| Of being king and government and nation | E |
| A road a mile of kingdom I am king | F |
| Of banks and stones and every blooming thing | F |
