Nessmuk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABB ACDCEFD| I hail thee Nessmuk for the lofty tone | A |
| Yet simple grace that marks thy poetry | B |
| True forester thou art and still to be | B |
| Even in happier fields than thou hast known | A |
| Thus in glad visions glimpses am I shown | A |
| Of groves delectable 'preserves' for thee | B |
| Ranged but by friends of thine I name thee three | B |
| - | |
| First Chaucer with his bald old pate new grown | A |
| With changeless laurel next in Lincoln green | C |
| Gold belted bowed and bugled Robin Hood | D |
| And next Ike Walton patient and serene | C |
| These three O Nessmuk gathered hunter wise | E |
| Are camped on hither slopes of Paradise | F |
| To hail thee first and greet thee as they should | D |
