The Taming Of The Falcon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCCBADAAAD| The bird sits spelled upon the lithe brown wrist | A |
| Of yonder turbaned fowler who had lamed | A |
| No feather limb but the winged spirit tamed | A |
| With his compelling eye He need not trust | A |
| The silken coil not set the thick limed snare | B |
| He lures the wanderer with his steadfast gaze | C |
| It shrinks it quails it trembles yet obeys | C |
| And lo he has enslaved the thing of air | B |
| The fixed insistent human will is lord | A |
| Of all the earth but in the awful sky | D |
| Reigns absolute unreached by deed or word | A |
| Above creation through eternity | A |
| Outshining the sun's shield the lightening's sword | A |
| The might of Allah's unaverted eye | D |
