The Swifts (1) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FDFG| The swifts have no strength any more to retain | A |
| To check the light blue evening coolness | B |
| It burst from their breasts from their throats under strain | A |
| And flows out of hand in its fullness | B |
| - | |
| There is not a thing that could stop them up there | C |
| From shrilly exultedly crying | D |
| Exclaiming The earth has made off to nowhere | C |
| O look It has vanished O triumph | E |
| - | |
| As cauldrons of water are ended in steam | F |
| When quarrelsome bubbles are rising | D |
| Look there is no room for the earth from the seam | F |
| Of the gorge to the drawn out horizon | G |
