A Wrangdillion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD DDDDEFEF DADAGHGH| Dexery tethery down in the dike | A |
| Under the ooze and the slime | B |
| Nestles the wraith of a reticent Gryke | A |
| Blubbering bubbles of rhyme | B |
| Though the reeds touch him and tickle his teeth | C |
| Though the Graigroll and the Cheest | D |
| Pluck at the leaves of his laureate wreath | C |
| Nothing affects him the least | D |
| - | |
| He sinks to the dregs in the dead o' the night | D |
| And he shuffles the shadows about | D |
| As he gathers the stars in a nest of delight | D |
| And sets there and hatches them out | D |
| The Zhederrill peers from his watery mine | E |
| In scorn with the Will o' the wisp | F |
| As he twinkles his eyes in a whisper of shine | E |
| That ends in a luminous lisp | F |
| - | |
| The Morning is born like a baby of gold | D |
| And it lies in a spasm of pink | A |
| And rallies the Cheest for the horrible cold | D |
| He has dragged to the willowy brink | A |
| The Gryke blots his tears with a scrap of his grief | G |
| And growls at the wary Graigroll | H |
| As he twunkers a tune on a Tiljicum leaf | G |
| And hums like a telegraph pole | H |
