The Dove Has A Word Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGH IJKLMANAOO PQRSTHTHH| With a sprig in my beak I repeatedly seek | A |
| For a spot where a poor bird may rest | B |
| While tumultuous man strives in vain for a plan | C |
| That may build me a permanent nest | B |
| But I'm sick of this search All I ask is a perch | D |
| In a cope neither gaudy nor grand | E |
| And they need me they say in a 'passionate' way | F |
| But as soon as I venture to land | E |
| There's a clashing of scabbards a barking of dogs | G |
| And I'm off once again to the ambient fogs | H |
| - | |
| I'd a job long ago for old Noah you know | I |
| And I hadn't much trouble with that | J |
| But this mechanised age makes the searching a rage | K |
| For a synthetic Mont Ararat | L |
| I have sought me a home o'er Locarno and Rome | M |
| O'er Geneva week after drear week | A |
| I have hovered and wheeled and while the nations appealed | N |
| But as soon as a haven I seek | A |
| There's a beating of drums and a yelling of fear | O |
| And I'm off once again to the calm stratosphere | O |
| - | |
| And now sounds a cooing a tentative wooing | P |
| Where Italy's olive groves gleam | Q |
| And they press a bland oil from the fruits of their soil | R |
| Is it olive they offer Or wait they proffer | S |
| That oil named for Pollux's twin | T |
| That unguent whose use 'mid Rome's rashly obtsue | H |
| Helped the Fascist ideal to win | T |
| If 'tis this I am off to the cradle of stars | H |
| For a home with old bluff unequivocal Mars | H |
