The Old Language Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHFF| England what have you done to make the speech | A |
| My fathers used a stranger to my lips | B |
| An offence to the ear a shackle on the tongue | C |
| That would fit new thoughts to an abiding tune | D |
| Answer me now The workshop where they wrought | E |
| Stands idle and thick dust covers their tools | F |
| The blue metal of streams the copper and gold | G |
| Seams in the wood are all unquarried the leaves' | F |
| Intricate filigree falls and who shall renew | H |
| Its brisk pattern When spring wakens the hearts | F |
| Of the young children to sing what song shall be theirs | F |
