A Song At Shannon's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDETwo men came out of Shannon's having known | A |
The faces of each other for so long | B |
As they had listened there to an old song | B |
Sung thinly in a wastrel monotone | A |
By some unhappy night bird who had flown | A |
Too many times and with a wing too strong | B |
To save himself and so done heavy wrong | B |
To more frail elements than his alone | A |
- | |
Slowly away they went leaving behind | C |
More light than was before them Neither met | D |
The other's eyes again or said a word | E |
Each to his loneliness or to his kind | C |
Went his own way and with his own regret | D |
Not knowing what the other may have heard | E |
