Drawing Details In An Old Church Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGGGH| I hear the bell rope sawing | A |
| And the oil less axle grind | B |
| As I sit alone here drawing | A |
| What some Gothic brain designed | B |
| And I catch the toll that follows | C |
| From the lagging bell | D |
| Ere it spreads to hills and hollows | C |
| Where the parish people dwell | D |
| - | |
| I ask not whom it tolls for | E |
| Incurious who he be | F |
| So some morrow when those knolls for | E |
| One unguessed sound out for me | F |
| A stranger loitering under | G |
| In nave or choir | G |
| May think too Whose I wonder | G |
| But care not to inquire | H |
