The Moor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDEFDFFGFG| The world's gone forward to its latest fair | A |
| And dropt an old man done with by the way | B |
| To sit alone among the bats and stare | A |
| At miles and miles and miles of moorland bare | A |
| Lit only with last shreds of dying day | B |
| Not all the world not all the world's gone by | C |
| Old man you're like to meet one traveller still | D |
| A journeyman well kenned for courtesy | E |
| To all that walk at odds with life and limb | F |
| If this be he now riding up the hill | D |
| Maybe he'll stop and take you up with him | F |
| 'But thou art Death ' 'Of Heavenly Seraphim | F |
| None else to seek thee out and bid thee come ' | G |
| 'I only care that thou art come from Him | F |
| Unbody me I'm tired and get me home ' | G |
