Under Saturn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEFEAGAHDo not because this day I have grown saturnine | A |
Imagine that lost love inseparable from my thought | B |
Because I have no other youth can make me pine | A |
For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought | B |
The comfort that you made Although my wits have gone | A |
On a fantastic ride my horse's flanks are spurred | C |
By childish memories of an old cross Pollexfen | A |
And of a Middleton whose name you never heard | C |
And of a red haired Yeats whose looks although he died | D |
Before my time seem like a vivid memory | E |
You heard that labouring man who had served my people He said | F |
Upon the open road near to the Sligo quay | E |
No no not said but cried it out 'You have come again | A |
And surely after twenty years it was time to come ' | G |
I am thinking of a child's vow sworn in vain | A |
Never to leave that valley his fathers called their home | H |
