The Caged Skylark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCD CCE| As a dare gale skylark scanted in a dull cage | A |
| Man's mounting spirit in his bone house mean house dwells | B |
| That bird beyond the remembering his free fells | B |
| This in drudgery day labouring out life's age | A |
| Though aloft on turf or perch or poor low stage | A |
| Both sing somet iacute mes the sweetest sweetest spells | B |
| Yet both droop deadly s oacute metimes in their cells | B |
| Or wring their barriers in bursts of fear or rage | A |
| - | |
| Not that the sweet fowl song fowl needs no rest | C |
| Why hear him hear him babble and drop down to his nest | C |
| But his own nest wild nest no prison | D |
| - | |
| Man's spirit will be flesh bound when found at best | C |
| But uncumbered meadow down is not distressed | C |
| For a rainbow footing it nor he for his b oacute nes r iacute sen | E |
