Half Fledged Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDDEEFF GGHHIIBBJJ| I feel the stirrings in me of great things | A |
| New half fledged thoughts rise up and beat their wings | A |
| And tremble on the margin of their nest | B |
| Then flutter back and hide within my breast | B |
| - | |
| Beholding space they doubt their untried strength | C |
| Beholding men they fear them But at length | C |
| Grown all too great and active for the heart | D |
| That broods them with such tender mother art | D |
| Forgetting fear and men and all that hour | E |
| Save the impelling consciousness of power | E |
| That stirs within them they shall soar away | F |
| Up to the very portals of the Day | F |
| - | |
| Oh what exultant rapture thrills me through | G |
| When I contemplate all those thoughts may do | G |
| Like snow white eagles penetrating space | H |
| They may explore full many an unknown place | H |
| And build their nests on mountain heights unseen | I |
| Whereon doth lie that dreamed of rest serene | I |
| Stay thou a little longer in my breast | B |
| Till my fond heart shall push thee from the nest | B |
| Anxious to see thee soar to heights divine | J |
| Oh beautiful but half fledged thoughts of mine | J |
