Hounds! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDDCEEFDDDFGGCBBB C| There is music on disc and on wireless | A |
| Band music dance tunes for the tireless | B |
| Sweet music from day unto day | C |
| But the music a man will remember | D |
| Shakes down the last leaves of November | D |
| And speeds the wild geese in December | D |
| And greets the first oak bud in May | C |
| What string with such beauty can tremble | E |
| What bugle such raptures assemble | E |
| What trumpet can sound such a call | F |
| Is there ever a melody nearer | D |
| The quick beating heart of the hearer | D |
| Is there ever a tune that is dearer | D |
| As it chooses a dance for us all | F |
| No song is so sweet in the setting | G |
| No lilt so forbids all forgetting | G |
| Or lingers so long by the way | C |
| When the shadows of night gather o er us | B |
| And the scarlet has faded before us | B |
| The ring of that ravishing chorus | B |
| Dies not with the death of the day | C |
