Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJK LMNO PQRS| A bird came down the walk | A |
| He did not know I saw | B |
| He bit an angle worm in halves | C |
| And ate the fellow raw | D |

| And then he drank a dew | E |
| From a convenient grass | F |

| Like one in danger cautious | L |
| I offered him a crumb | M |
| And he unrolled his feathers | N |

| Than oars divide the ocean | P |
| Too silver for a seam | Q |
| Or butterflies off banks of noon | R |
| Leap splashless as they swim | S |
