Humming-bird Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFDGHIJHKLMN| Why do you stand on the air | A |
| And no sun shining | B |
| How can you hold yourself so still | C |
| On raindrops sliding | B |
| They change and fall they are not steady | D |
| But you do not know they are gone | E |
| Is there a silver wire | F |
| I cannot see | D |
| Is the wind your perch | G |
| Raindrops slide down your little shoulders | H |
| They do not wet you | I |
| I think you are not real | J |
| In your green feathers | H |
| You are not a humming bird at all | K |
| Standing on air above the garden | L |
| I dreamed you the way I dream fairies | M |
| Or the flower I lost yesterday | N |
