Jane Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI JKLLL| As Jane walked out below the hill | A |
| She saw an old man standing still | A |
| His eyes in tranced sorrow bound | B |
| On the broad stretch of barren ground | B |
| - | |
| His limbs were knarled like aged trees | C |
| His thin beard wrapt about his knees | C |
| His visage broad and parchment white | D |
| Aglint with pale reflected light | D |
| - | |
| He seemed a creature fall'n afar | E |
| From some dim planet or faint star | E |
| Jane scanned him very close and soon | F |
| Cried 'Tis the old man from the moon | F |
| - | |
| He raised his voice a grating creak | G |
| But only to himself would speak | G |
| Groaning with tears in piteous pain | H |
| O O would I were home again | I |
| - | |
| Then Jane ran off quick as she could | J |
| To cheer his heart with drink and food | K |
| But ah too late came ale and bread | L |
| She found the poor soul stretched stone dead | L |
| And a new moon rode overhead | L |
