By The Barrows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ACCA DEDEFF

Not far from Mellstock so tradition saithA
Where barrows bulging as they bosoms wereB
Of Multimammia stretched supinely thereC
Catch night and noon the tempest's wanton breathA
-
A battle desperate doubtless unto deathA
Was one time fought The outlook lone and bareC
The towering hawk and passing raven shareC
And all the upland round is called The He'thA
-
Here once a woman in our modern ageD
Fought singlehandedly to shield a childE
One not her own from a man's senseless rageD
And to my mind no patriots' bones there piledE
So consecrate the silence as her deedF
Of stoic and devoted self unheedF
