Magpiety Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDCBCCEEA| The same and not quite the same I walked through oak forests | A |
| Amazed that my Muse Mnemosyne | B |
| Has in no way diminished my amazement | C |
| A magpie was screeching and I said Magpiety | C |
| What is magpiety I shall never achieve | D |
| A magpie heart a hairy nostril over the beak a flight | C |
| That always renews just when coming down | B |
| And so I shall never comprehend magpiety | C |
| If however magpiety does not exist | C |
| My nature does not exist either | E |
| Who would have guessed that centuries later | E |
| I would invent the question of universals | A |
