The Cranes Of Ibycus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEFGG| There was a man who watched the river flow | A |
| Past the huge town one gray November day | B |
| Round him in narrow high piled streets at play | B |
| The boys made merry as they saw him go | A |
| Murmuring half loud with eyes upon the stream | C |
| The immortal screed he held within his hand | D |
| For he was walking in an April land | D |
| With Faust and Helen Shadowy as a dream | C |
| Was the prose world the river and the town | E |
| Wild joy possessed him through enchanted skies | F |
| He saw the cranes of Ibycus swoop down | E |
| He closed the page he lifted up his eyes | F |
| Lo a black line of birds in wavering thread | G |
| Bore him the greetings of the deathless dead | G |
