Death Of The Stag Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVFWOXYJZF| The stag too singled from the herd where long | A |
| He ranged the branching monarch of the shade | B |
| Before the tempest drives At first in speed | C |
| He sprightly puts his faith and roused by fear | D |
| Gives all his swift aerial soul to flight | E |
| Against the breeze he darts that way the more | F |
| To leave the lessening murderous cry behind | G |
| He bursts the thickets glances through the glades | H |
| And plunges deep into the wildest wood | I |
| If slow yet sure adhesive to the track | J |
| Hot steaming up behind him come again | K |
| The inhuman rout and from the shady depth | L |
| Expel him circling through his every shift | M |
| He sweeps the forest oft and sobbing sees | N |
| The glades mild opening to the golden day | O |
| Where in kind contest with his butting friends | P |
| He wont to struggle or his loves enjoy | Q |
| Oft in the full descending flood he tries | R |
| To lose the scent and lave his burning sides | S |
| Oft seeks the herd the watchful herd alarm'd | T |
| With selfish care avoids a brother's woe | U |
| What shall he do His once so vivid nerves | V |
| So full of buoyant spirits now no more | F |
| Inspire the course but fainting breathless toil | W |
| Sick seizes on his heart he stands at bay | O |
| And puts his last weak refuge in despair | X |
| The big round tears run down his dappled face | Y |
| He groans in anguish while the growling pack | J |
| Blood happy hang at his fair jutting chest | Z |
| And mark his beauteous chequer'd sides with gore | F |
