What’s up with made/bade? I pronounce those the same way.
Bade is the past tense of “bid” and is technically pronounced the same as “bad”. Link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bade
Essentially, the pronunciation follows the same pattern as words like “sit - sat”, but the spelling pattern follows a different Old English pattern.
It’s a 100 year old poem, I’m guessing it was pronounced different in that area at the time.
