The Ruined Chapel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABA CCCBC DDDBD EFFBF GGGBG| By the shore a plot of ground | A |
| Clips a ruined chapel round | A |
| Buttressed with a grassy mound | A |
| Where Day and Night and Day go by | B |
| And bring no touch of human sound | A |
| - | |
| Washing of the lonely seas | C |
| Shaking of the guardian trees | C |
| Piping of the salted breeze | C |
| Day and Night and Day go by | B |
| To the endless tune of these | C |
| - | |
| Or when as winds and waters keep | D |
| A hush more dead than any sleep | D |
| Still morns to stiller evenings creep | D |
| And Day and Night and Day go by | B |
| Here the silence is most deep | D |
| - | |
| The empty ruins lapsed again | E |
| Into Nature's wide domain | F |
| Sow themselves with seed and grain | F |
| As Day and Night and Day go by | B |
| And hoard June's sun and April's rain | F |
| - | |
| Here fresh funeral tears were shed | G |
| Now the graves are also dead | G |
| And suckers from the ash tree spread | G |
| While Day and Night and Day go by | B |
| And stars move calmly overhead | G |
