The Blue Kingfisher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAD DEDEAFAF AGAEAHAH IEIEJEJE| Where the little river gleaming | A |
| Thro' its shadows green and cool | B |
| Broadens to the quiet dreaming | A |
| Of a little shady pool | B |
| There an azure jewel burning | A |
| O'er the waters you may spy | C |
| Never moving never turning | A |
| 'Tis the silent fisher | D |
| - | |
| Head aloft above the river | D |
| With an apathetic air | E |
| Not the smallest quirk nor quiver | D |
| Warns you of my presence there | E |
| Mayhap you will thnk me sleeping | A |
| Dreaming summer days away | F |
| Till you mark a keen eye peeping | A |
| Where the tell tale ripples play | F |
| - | |
| Now a dive a sudden darting | A |
| Now a flash of gold and blue | G |
| And the placid waters parting | A |
| Let my gleaming body thro' | E |
| Then long ere the ripples spreading | A |
| Circle to the pool's green lip | H |
| Back to safety I am heading | A |
| And the kill is in my grip | H |
| - | |
| So I haunt the cool dark places | I |
| By the river from that hour | E |
| When the dawn's bright finger traces | I |
| Fairy lights about my bower | E |
| Till the western hilltops redden | J |
| Fade and vanish I am there | E |
| And the far skies growing leaden | J |
| Bid me seek my secret lair | E |
