The Bird That Soars On Highest Wing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDECCThe bird that soars on highest wing | A |
Builds on the ground her lowly nest | B |
And she that doth most sweetly sing | A |
Sings in the shade when all things rest | B |
In lark and nightingale we see | C |
What honour hath humility | C |
- | |
The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown | D |
In deepest adoration bends | E |
The weight of glory bows him down | D |
Then most when most his soul ascends | E |
Nearest the throne itself must be | C |
The footstool of humility | C |
