The Unknown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIGJKLMNYe aspiring ones listen to the story of the unknown | A |
Who lies here with no stone to mark the place | B |
As a boy reckless and wanton | C |
Wandering with gun in hand through the forest | D |
Near the mansion of Aaron Hatfield | E |
I shot a hawk perched on the top | F |
Of a dead tree | G |
He fell with guttural cry | H |
At my feet his wing broken | C |
Then I put him in a cage | I |
Where he lived many days cawing angrily at me | G |
When I offered him food | J |
Daily I search the realms of Hades | K |
For the soul of the hawk | L |
That I may offer him the friendship | M |
Of one whom life wounded and caged | N |
