Where The Picnic Was Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDEEC FGFHIJKKG LMNNOOPQRPQR| Where we made the fire | A |
| In the summer time | B |
| Of branch and briar | A |
| On the hill to the sea | C |
| I slowly climb | B |
| Through winter mire | D |
| And scan and trace | E |
| The forsaken place | E |
| Quite readily | C |
| - | |
| Now a cold wind blows | F |
| And the grass is gray | G |
| But the spot still shows | F |
| As a burnt circle aye | H |
| And stick ends charred | I |
| Still strew the sward | J |
| Whereon I stand | K |
| Last relic of the band | K |
| Who came that day | G |
| - | |
| Yes I am here | L |
| Just as last year | M |
| And the sea breathes brine | N |
| From its strange straight line | N |
| Up hither the same | O |
| As when we four came | O |
| But two have wandered far | P |
| From this grassy rise | Q |
| Into urban roar | R |
| Where no picnics are | P |
| And one has shut her eyes | Q |
| For evermore | R |
