The Loons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCBDED| Once ye were happy once by many a shore | A |
| Wherever Glooscap's gentle feet might stray | B |
| Lulled by his presence like a dream ye lay | B |
| Floating at rest but that was long of yore | A |
| He was too good for earthly men he bore | A |
| Their bitter deeds for many a patient day | B |
| And then at last he took his unseen way | B |
| He was your friend and ye might rest no more | A |
| - | |
| And now though many hundred altering years | C |
| Have passed among the desolate northern meres | C |
| Still must ye search and wander querulously | B |
| Crying for Glooscap still bemoan the light | D |
| With weird entreaties and in agony | E |
| With awful laughter pierce the lonely night | D |
