Hilltop Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK| When the lights come out in the cottages | A |
| Along the shores at eve | B |
| And across the darkening water | C |
| The last pale colours leave | B |
| - | |
| And up from the rock ridged pasture slopes | D |
| The sheep bell tinklings steal | E |
| And the folds are shut and the shepherds | F |
| Turn to their quiet meal | E |
| - | |
| And even here on the unfenced height | G |
| No journeying wind goes by | H |
| But the earth sweet smells and the home sweet sounds | I |
| Mount like prayer to the sky | H |
| - | |
| Then from the door of my opened heart | J |
| Old blindness and pride are driven | K |
| Till I know how high is the humble | L |
| The dear earth how close to heaven | K |
