Oxford Revisited Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDFEEF| I never hear the sound of thy glad bells | A |
| Oxford and chime harmonious but I say | B |
| Sighing to think how time has worn away | B |
| Some spirit speaks in the sweet tone that swells | A |
| Heard after years of absence from the vale | C |
| Where Cherwell winds Most true it speaks the tale | C |
| Of days departed and its voice recalls | D |
| Hours of delight and hope in the gay tide | E |
| Of life and many friends now scattered wide | E |
| By many fates Peace be within thy walls | D |
| I have scarce heart to visit thee but yet | F |
| Denied the joys sought in thy shades denied | E |
| Each better hope since my poor Harriet died | E |
| What I have owed to thee my heart can ne'er forget | F |
