Grey Thrush At The Door Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFC GHGHC AIAIJJ| 'Swe e et Swe e et ' Low at first and flattering | A |
| Full of soft seductiveness on a wheedling note | B |
| Who comes in mercy now crumbs of comfort scattering | A |
| For a grey bird pleading from a cold cold throat | B |
| Just a thread of tallow fat just a scrap of meat | C |
| Grey thrush is at the door 'Swe e et Swe e et ' | D |
| - | |
| Grey bird friendly bird merry bird in summer time | E |
| For summer is a merry time full of tuneful mirth | F |
| Sunny days are singing days But winter is a glummer time | E |
| With lean days of scant fare frost has locked the earth | F |
| Song goes as sun goes and harshly drives the sleet | C |
| Where comes the almoner 'Swe e et Swe e et ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Sweet Sweet ' Now it grows imperious | G |
| A short call a loud call impatience in its tone | H |
| Why am I left lingering See my plight is serious | G |
| A poor bird all forlorn starving and alone | H |
| Grey Thrush is a hungering begging scraps to eat | C |
| It's far beyond my breakfast time 'Sweet Sweet ' | - |
| - | |
| Now a footstep on the floor Now a sudden fluttering | A |
| And Grey Thrush is waiting there beside the open door | I |
| Kookaburra cocks an eye greedily he's muttering | A |
| But grey bird is first to swoop upon the proffered store | I |
| A scrap of song in gratitude then up and off away | J |
| And the mendicant has vanished till another frosty day | J |
