A Song At Shannon's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Two 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 |
