To A Shade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHIHJKJKFLM FNOPOQ| If you have revisited the town thin Shade | A |
| Whether to look upon your monument | B |
| I wonder if the builder has been paid | A |
| Or happier thoughted when the day is spent | C |
| To drink of that salt breath out of the sea | D |
| When grey gulls flit about instead of men | E |
| And the gaunt houses put on majesty | D |
| Let these content you and be gone again | E |
| For they are at their old tricks yet | F |
| A man | G |
| Of your own passionate serving kind who had brought | H |
| In his full hands what had they only known | I |
| Had given their children's children loftier thought | H |
| Sweeter emotion working in their veins | J |
| Like gentle blood has been driven from the place | K |
| And instilt heaped upon him for his pains | J |
| And for his open handedness disgrace | K |
| Your enemy an old fotil mouth had set | F |
| The pack upon him | L |
| Go unquiet wanderer | M |
| And gather the Glasnevin coverlet | F |
| About your head till the dust stops your ear | N |
| The time for you to taste of that Salt breath | O |
| And listen at the corners has not come | P |
| You had enough of sorrow before death | O |
| Away away You are safer in the tomb | Q |
