The Bronze-wing Pigeon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFAAGG HGHGIIJJ| They say I am a shy wild thing | A |
| That seeks the wild bush glade | B |
| Quick to be gone on whirring wing | A |
| Where stangers would invade | B |
| But well I know what all birds know | C |
| The voice of friend the tread of foe | C |
| And deem it wise to fear the worst | D |
| Till I have knowledge of the first | D |
| - | |
| Afar my muffled drumming sounds | E |
| Where tangled dogwood grows | F |
| But when you tread my feeding grounds | E |
| I am alert for foes | F |
| A flash of iridescent wing | A |
| And I am but a vanished thing | A |
| Gone to be heard and seen no more | G |
| In spite of all your forest lore | G |
| - | |
| But should you win me in the end | H |
| By dint of kindlier lore | G |
| Gladly I take you for a friend | H |
| And to your own house door | G |
| I come with confidence complete | I |
| To quest my food about your feet | I |
| And with a gravely gentle air | J |
| Display my shy bronze beauty there | J |
