As The Sparrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBCGHI| To give life you must take life | A |
| and as our grief falls flat and hollow | B |
| upon the billion blooded sea | C |
| I pass upon serious inward breaking shoals rimmed | D |
| with white legged white bellied rotting creatures | E |
| lengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes | F |
| Dear child I only did to you what the sparrow | B |
| did to you I am old when it is fashionable to be | C |
| young I cry when it is fashionable to laugh | G |
| I hated you when it would have taken less courage | H |
| to love | I |
