The Gnu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE

G stands for Gnu whose weapon of defenceA
Are long sharp curling horns and common senseA
To these he adds a name so short and strongB
That even hardy Boers pronounce it wrongB
How often on a bright autumnal dayC
The pious people of Pretoria sayC
'Come let us hunt the ' Then no more is heardD
but sounds of strong men struggling with a wordD
Meanwhile the distant Gnu with grateful eyesE
Oberserves his opportunity and fliesE

Hilaire Belloc
