The Cranes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMIN| We thought they were gulls at first | A |
| while they were distant | B |
| The two cranes flying out of a natural morning | C |
| They circled twice about our house and sank | D |
| Their long legs drooping down over the wood | E |
| We saw their wings flash white | F |
| Frayed at the black tip | G |
| And heard their harsh cry like a rusty screw | H |
| - | |
| Down in the next field shy and angular | I |
| They darted their long necks in the grass for fish | J |
| They would not have us close but shambled coyly | K |
| Ridiculous caught on the ground Yet our fields | L |
| Under their feet became a fen the sky | M |
| That was blue July became watery November | I |
| And echoing with the cries of foreign birds | N |
