To A Sparrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDF GHGH HIHI| Because you have no fear to mingle | A |
| Wings with those of greater part | B |
| So like me with song I single | A |
| Your sweet impudence of heart | B |
| - | |
| And when prouder feathers go where | C |
| Summer holds her leafy show | D |
| You still come to us from nowhere | C |
| Like grey leaves across the snow | D |
| - | |
| In back ways where odd and end go | D |
| To your meals you drop down sure | E |
| Knowing every broken window | D |
| Of the hospitable poor | F |
| - | |
| There is no bird half so harmless | G |
| None so sweetly rude as you | H |
| None so common and so charmless | G |
| None of virtues nude as you | H |
| - | |
| But for all your faults I love you | H |
| For you linger with us still | I |
| Though the wintry winds reprove you | H |
| And the snow is on the hill | I |
