The Call Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEEEFFGGHHII| Gold and green the elm leaves lean and interlace | A |
| All the coloured woodlands are calling to the Chase | A |
| Dew is on the stubble field ruddy grows the thorn | B |
| All the withered meadowland is listening for the horn | B |
| Lures of lawn and hammock rod and bat and ball | C |
| Fade before the coming of a stronger lure than all | C |
| Faint before the whisper of the padding feet that pass | D |
| Fail before the witchery of hoof beats on the grass | D |
| England in her summer sleep turns about and stirs | E |
| Hears the click of bridle rings hears the clink of spurs | E |
| Sees the gleam of spotted flanks moving in the gorse | E |
| Sees the flashing scarlet of a Whip upon his horse | E |
| Rippling water charms no more nor the lazy noon | F |
| Spent among the lime trees where a wild bee makes the tune | F |
| Something fiercer tugs the heart fans the Wood to fire | G |
| Sets the pulses galloping and wakes the old desire | G |
| Girths are buckled reins are drawn stirrups caught again | H |
| Women turn to sterner play men go forth like men | H |
| Where the storm clouds gather where the strong winds stride | I |
| Autumn calls to England and bids her bravest ride | I |
