Paying Calls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJKJ| I went by footpath and by stile | A |
| Beyond where bustle ends | B |
| Strayed here a mile and there a mile | A |
| And called upon some friends | B |
| - | |
| On certain ones I had not seen | C |
| For years past did I call | D |
| And then on others who had been | E |
| The oldest friends of all | D |
| - | |
| It was the time of midsummer | F |
| When they had used to roam | G |
| But now though tempting was the air | H |
| I found them all at home | G |
| - | |
| I spoke to one and other of them | I |
| By mound and stone and tree | J |
| Of things we had done ere days were dim | K |
| But they spoke not to me | J |
