The Unknown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIGJKLMN| Ye 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 |
