Homing Swallows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Swift swallows sailing from the Spanish main | A |
| O rain birds racing merrily away | B |
| From hill tops parched with heat and sultry plain | A |
| Of wilting plants and fainting flowers say | B |
| - | |
| When at the noon hour from the chapel school | C |
| The children dash and scamper down the dale | D |
| Scornful of teacher's rod and binding rule | C |
| Forever broken and without avail | D |
| - | |
| Do they still stop beneath the giant tree | E |
| To gather locusts in their childish greed | F |
| And chuckle when they break the pods to see | E |
| The golden powder clustered round the seed | F |
