At Lulworth Cove A Century Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI CJCJ| Had I but lived a hundred years ago | A |
| I might have gone as I have gone this year | B |
| By Warmwell Cross on to a Cove I know | A |
| And Time have placed his finger on me there | C |
| - | |
| You see that man I might have looked and said | D |
| O yes I see him One that boat has brought | E |
| Which dropped down Channel round Saint Alban's Head | D |
| So commonplace a youth calls not my thought | E |
| - | |
| You see that man Why yes I told you yes | F |
| Of an idling town sort thin hair brown in hue | G |
| And as the evening light scants less and less | F |
| He looks up at a star as many do | G |
| - | |
| You see that man Nay leave me then I plead | H |
| I have fifteen miles to vamp across the lea | I |
| And it grows dark and I am weary kneed | H |
| I have said the third time yes that man I see | I |
| - | |
| Good That man goes to Rome to death despair | C |
| And no one notes him now but you and I | J |
| A hundred years and the world will follow him there | C |
| And bend with reverence where his ashes lie | J |
