The Eagle And The Flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DEFFE GHIIJ BBDDB DEDDE| The eyrie clung to the shattered cliff | A |
| That the glacier's torrent thundered under | B |
| And the unfledged eaglet's lifted eye | C |
| Looked out on the world of peak and sky | C |
| In silent wonder | B |
| - | |
| The mountain daisy dainty white | D |
| That grew by the side of the lofty eyrie | E |
| Saw the young wings beat on the eagle's breast | F |
| And the restless eyes in the fagot nest | F |
| Grow grim and fiery | E |
| - | |
| The days went by and the wings grew strong | G |
| And the crag built home was at last deserted | H |
| But close to the nest that her love had left | I |
| The daisy clung to the rocky cleft | I |
| Half broken hearted | J |
| - | |
| The days went by and the wan white flower | B |
| Waited and watched in the autumn weather | B |
| Far down the valley far up the height | D |
| The forest blazed and a wizard light | D |
| Crowned hill and heather | B |
| - | |
| And he came at last one eventide | D |
| His breast was pierced and his plumes were gory | E |
| For home is best when we come to die | D |
| And we love the love that our youth puts by | D |
| And there's my story | E |
