A Hunting-song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDED FGFGHHIJIJKKKJJLLAA| Hunters where does Hope nest | A |
| Not in the half oped breast | A |
| Nor the young rose | B |
| Nor April sunrise those | B |
| With a quick wing she brushes | C |
| The wide world through | D |
| Greets with the throat of thrushes | E |
| Fades from as fast as dew | D |
| - | |
| But would you spy her sleeping | F |
| Cradled warm | G |
| Look in the breast of weeping | F |
| The tree stript by storm | G |
| But would you bind her fast | H |
| Yours at last | H |
| Bed mate and lover | I |
| Gain the last headland bare | J |
| That the cold tides cover | I |
| There may you capture her there | J |
| Where the sea gives to the ground | K |
| Only the drift of the drowned | K |
| Yet if she slips you once found | K |
| Push to her uttermost lair | J |
| In the low house of despair | J |
| There will she watch by your head | L |
| Sing to you till you be dead | L |
| Then with your child in her breast | A |
| In another heart build a new nest | A |
