The Donkey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK| When fishes flew and forests walked | A |
| And figs grew upon thorn | B |
| Some moment when the moon was blood | C |
| Then surely I was born | B |

| With monstrous head and sickening cry | D |
| And ears like errant wings | E |

| I keep my secret still | H |

| One far fierce hour and sweet | K |
| There was a shout about my ears | L |
| And palms before my feet | K |
