On The Sight Of Swans In Kensington Gardens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABAABACCADD| Queen bird that sittest on thy shining nest | A |
| And thy young cygnets without sorrow hatchest | A |
| And thou thou other royal bird that watchest | A |
| Lest the white mother wandering feet molest | A |
| Shrined are your offspring in a crystal cradle | B |
| Brighter than Helen's ere she yet had burst | A |
| Her shelly prison They shall be born at first | A |
| Strong active graceful perfect swan like able | B |
| To tread the land or waters with security | A |
| Unlike poor human births conceived in sin | C |
| In grief brought forth both outwardly and in | C |
| Confessing weakness error and impurity | A |
| Did heavenly creatures own succession's line | D |
| The births of heaven like to yours would shine | D |
