Yonder He Goes! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDECFFECFFEE| Always our fathers were hunters lords of the pitiless spear | A |
| Chasing in English woodlands the wild white ox and the deer | A |
| Feeling the edge of their knife blades trying the pull of their bows | B |
| At a sudden foot in the forest thrilling to ' Yonder he goes ' | C |
| Safe for the space of a summer the cubs may tumble and play | D |
| Boldly from April to August the dog fox chooses his way | D |
| But soon as the beech leaf reddens soon as the chill wind blows | E |
| He must steal cat foot listening ready for' Yonder he goes ' | C |
| The sound of a horn in the bracken the sound of a cheer in the ride | F |
| Fourteen couple running for blood as though to the I brush of him tied | F |
| Fourteen couple screaming for blood and every hound of them knows | E |
| This is his right from the ages the heart stirring Yonder he goes ' | C |
| Not for the lust of killing not for the places of pride | F |
| Not for the hate of the hunted we English saddle and ride | F |
| But because in the gift of our fathers the blood in our veins that flows | E |
| Must answer for ever and ever the challenge of Yonder he goes | E |
