Back To The Land Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FDGD HIJI DKLK MDND DOPO QIRI| Out in the upland places | A |
| I see both dale and down | B |
| And the ploughed earth with open scores | C |
| Turning the green to brown | B |
| - | |
| The bare bones of the country | D |
| Lie gaunt in winter days | E |
| Grim fastnesses of rock and scaur | D |
| Sure while the year decays | E |
| - | |
| And as the autumn withers | F |
| And the winds strip the tree | D |
| The companies of buried folk | G |
| Rise up and speak with me | D |
| - | |
| From homesteads long forgotten | H |
| From graves by church and yew | I |
| They come to walk with noiseless tread | J |
| Upon the land they knew | I |
| - | |
| Men who have tilled the pasture | D |
| The writhen thorn beside | K |
| Women within grey vanished walls | L |
| Who bore and loved and died | K |
| - | |
| And when the great town closes | M |
| Upon me like a sea | D |
| Daylong above its weary din | N |
| I hear them call to me | D |
| - | |
| Dead folk the roofs are round me | D |
| To bar out field and hill | O |
| And yet I hear you on the wind | P |
| Calling and calling still | O |
| - | |
| And while by street and pavement | Q |
| The day runs slowly through | I |
| My soul across these haunted downs | R |
| Goes forth and walks with you | I |
