The Need Of Being Versed In Country Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNON PQRQ| The house had gone to bring again | A |
| To the midnight sky a sunset glow | B |
| Now the chimney was all of the house that stood | C |
| Like a pistil after the petals go | B |
| - | |
| The barn opposed across the way | D |
| That would have joined the house in flame | E |
| Had it been the will of the wind was left | F |
| To bear forsaken the place's name | E |
| - | |
| No more it opened with all one end | G |
| For teams that came by the stony road | H |
| To drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs | I |
| And brush the mow with the summer load | H |
| - | |
| The birds that came to it through the air | J |
| At broken windows flew out and in | K |
| Their murmur more like the sigh we sigh | L |
| From too much dwelling on what has been | K |
| - | |
| Yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf | M |
| And the aged elm though touched with fire | N |
| And the dry pump flung up an awkward arm | O |
| And the fence post carried a strand of wire | N |
| - | |
| For them there was really nothing sad | P |
| But though they rejoiced in the nest they kept | Q |
| One had to be versed in country things | R |
| Not to believe the phoebes wept | Q |
