At Queensferry - To W. G. S Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDD| The blackbird sang the skies were clear and clean | A |
| We bowled along a road that curved a spine | B |
| Superbly sinuous and serpentine | B |
| Thro' silent symphonies of summer green | A |
| Sudden the Forth came on us sad of mien | A |
| No cloud to colour it no breeze to line | B |
| A sheet of dark dull glass without a sign | B |
| Of life or death two spits of sand between | A |
| Water and sky merged blank in mist together | C |
| The Fort loomed spectral and the Guardship's spars | D |
| Traced vague black shadows on the shimmery glaze | D |
| We felt the dim strange years the grey strange weather | C |
| The still strange land unvexed of sun or stars | D |
| Where Lancelot rides clanking thro' the haze | D |
