Witchery Knows! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCDDECECFFGCGCHH ICJCKKLCL C

Witchery knows what it meansA
When the oats and the barley the wheat and the beansA
Have been built into stacks and the stubbles are bareB
When the woodlands are flaming in russet and roseC
When there's rime on the grass and a nip in the airB
Witchery knowsC
Witchery knows very wellD
When the gorse tops are shaking down there in the dellD
And a Whip like a statue waits under a treeE
That the moment has come to be up on her toesC
And reaching her lean little head to her kneeE
Witchery knowsC
Witchery knows how to creepF
When the banks are still blind and the ditches are deepF
When a double looms up scarce a cat could get throughG
While his true tongue beyond it old Ruffian throwsC
Little Witchery knows how to take it in twoG
Witchery knowsC
Witchery knows how to raceH
When the hard riding leaders are cramming on paceH
And the dog hounds are lifting it over the ploughI
She hears the glad horn and the challenge it blowsC
And she knows how to answer that merry tow rowJ
Witchery knowsC
Witchery knows the whole gameK
From the find of a fox to the death of the sameK
And she knows when the woods in full splendour are dressedL
And the berries hang black where the elder bush growsC
That it's time for a good mare to gallop her bestL

Witchery knowsC
