The Goldfinch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABAA CDCCDEF GHGGHII IJIIJKK| When dandelions star the fields | A |
| Another alien singer I | B |
| Nursed upon England's flowery wealds | A |
| Seeking no tithe of treasured yields | A |
| dropp sudden from a summer sky | B |
| To where the spangled clearing spills | A |
| Its gold about your timbered hills | A |
| - | |
| A mite in splendid motley clad | C |
| I mark the field I know the hour | D |
| When choicest morsels may be had | C |
| When blooms are gay when days are glad | C |
| And thistledown wafts in a shower | D |
| To dance and drift and disappear | E |
| I who was not am with you here | F |
| - | |
| I cling beside the thistle head | G |
| I dance about your cattle's feet | H |
| I revel in the banquet spread | G |
| By many a blazing yellow bed | G |
| And feast until I am replete | H |
| Then seek the house roof's topmost tile | I |
| To linger yet a little while | I |
| - | |
| No ingrate I no niggard churl | I |
| Tho' what I take you well may spare | J |
| Ere azure skies have grown to pearl | I |
| With many a grace note many a skirl | I |
| I pay gold coin for golden fare | J |
| And profer an abundant fee | K |
| In long sweet bursts of melody | K |
