The Village Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFG HIJKL MGNO P| Scarcely a street too few houses | A |
| To merit the title just a way between | B |

| Of the short hill eaten away | D |
| By long erosion of the green tide | E |
| Of grass creeping perpetually nearer | F |
| This last outpost of time past | G |

| So little happens the black dog | H |
| Cracking his fleas in the hot sun | I |
| Is history Yet the girl who crosses | J |
| From door to door moves to a scale | K |
| Beyond the bland day's two dimensions | L |

| Stay then village for round you spins | M |
| On a slow axis a world as vast | G |
| And meaningful as any posed | N |
| By great Plato's solitary mind | O |
