The Bird At Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CC DBDD EE AADD CFGCGGC| What I saw was just one eye | A |
| In the dawn as I was going | B |
| A bird can carry all the sky | A |
| In that little button glowing | B |
| - | |
| Never in my life I went | C |
| So deep into the firmament | C |
| - | |
| He was standing on a tree | D |
| All in blossom overflowing | B |
| And he purposely looked hard at me | D |
| At first as if to question merrily | D |
| ' Where are you going ' | - |
| But next some far more serious thing to say | E |
| I could not answer could not look away | E |
| - | |
| Oh that hard round and so distracting eye | A |
| Little mirror of all the sky | A |
| And then the after song another tree | D |
| Held and sent radiating back on me | D |
| - | |
| If no man had invented human word | C |
| And a bird song had been | F |
| The only way to utter what we mean | G |
| What would we men have heard | C |
| What understood what seen | G |
| Between the trills and pauses in between | G |
| The singing and the silence of a bird | C |
