Old Excursions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFFEGEEG ABBACDDC H| What's the good of going to Ridgeway | A |
| Cerne or Sydling Mill | B |
| Or to Yell'ham Hill | B |
| Blithely bearing Casterbridge way | A |
| As we used to do | C |
| She will no more climb up there | D |
| Or be visible anywhere | D |
| In those haunts we knew | C |
| - | |
| But to night while walking weary | E |
| Near me seemed her shade | F |
| Come as 'twere to upbraid | F |
| This my mood in deeming dreary | E |
| Scenes that used to please | G |
| And if she did come to me | E |
| Still solicitous there may be | E |
| Good in going to these | G |
| - | |
| So I'll care to roam to Ridgeway | A |
| Cerne or Sydling Mill | B |
| Or to Yell'ham Hill | B |
| Blithely bearing Casterbridge way | A |
| As we used to do | C |
| Since her phasm may flit out there | D |
| And may greet me anywhere | D |
| In those haunts we knew | C |
