The Horse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACC DADAA EFGFAA| A sparrow hopped about the street | A |
| And he was not a bit afraid | B |
| He flew between a horse's feet | A |
| And ate his supper undismayed | A |
| I think myself the horse knew well | C |
| The bird came for the grains that fell | C |
| - | |
| For his eye was looking down | D |
| And he danced the corn about | A |
| In his nose bag till the brown | D |
| Grains of corn were tumbled out | A |
| And I fancy that he said | A |
| 'Eat it up young Speckle Head ' | - |
| - | |
| The driver then came back again | E |
| He climbed into the heavy dray | F |
| And he tightened up the rein | G |
| Cracked his whip and drove away | F |
| But when the horse's ribs were hit | A |
| The sparrow did not care a bit | A |
