The Chimes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGBHHB| That morning when I trod the town | A |
| The twitching chimes of long renown | A |
| Played out to me | B |
| The sweet Sicilian sailors' tune | C |
| And I knew not if late or soon | C |
| My day would be | B |
| - | |
| A day of sunshine beryl bright | D |
| And windless yea think as I might | D |
| I could not say | E |
| Even to within years' measure when | F |
| One would be at my side who then | F |
| Was far away | E |
| - | |
| When hard utilitarian times | G |
| Had stilled the sweet Saint Peter's chimes | G |
| I learnt to see | B |
| That bale may spring where blisses are | H |
| And one desired might be afar | H |
| Though near to me | B |
