The Caged Eagle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDAEAFFGAAAHA| I went the other day | A |
| To see the birds and beasts they keep enmewed | A |
| In the London Zoo One of the first I saw | B |
| One of the first I noticed was an Eagle | C |
| Ragged befouled within his iron bars | D |
| He sat without a movement or a sound | A |
| And when I stood and pitying looked at him | E |
| I saw his great sad eyes that winkless gazed | A |
| Out to the horizon sky I passed from there | F |
| And walked about the gardens hither and thither | F |
| Till all the afternoon was spent Returning then | G |
| To seek my home again by chance I passed | A |
| The Eagle's cage and stood again and looked | A |
| And saw his great sad eyes that winkless gazed | A |
| Out to the horizon sky So I went home | H |
| The Eagle is Ireland | A |
