Watercolor Of Grantchester Meadows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEF FGFHIJK LMLNOGL LPLQAAL

There spring lambs jam the sheepfold In airA
Stilled silvered as water in a glassB
Nothing is big or farC
The small shrew chitters from its wildernessD
Of grassheads and is heardE
Each thumb sized birdE
Fits nimble winged in thickets and of good colorF
-
Cloudrack and owl hollowed willows slanting overF
The bland Granta double their white and greenG
World under the sheer waterF
And ride that flux at anchor upside downH
The punter sinks his poleI
In Byron's poolJ
Cattails part where the tame cygnets steerK
-
It is a country on a nursery plateL
Spotted cows revolve their jaws and cropM
Red clover or gnaw beetrootL
Bellied on a nimbus of sun glazed buttercupN
Hedging meadows of benignO
Arcadian greenG
The blood berried hawthorn hides its spines with whiteL
-
Droll vegetarian the water ratL
Saws down a reed and swims from his limber groveP
While the students stroll or sitL
Hands laced in a moony indolence of loveQ
Black gowned but unawareA
How in such mild airA
The owl shall stoop from his turret the rat cry outL
