Fancy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| O fancy if thou flyest come back anon | A |
| Thy fluttering wings are soft as love's first word | B |
| And fragrant as the feathers of that bird | B |
| Which feeds upon the budded cinnamon | A |
| I ask thee not to work or sigh play on | A |
| From nought that was not was or is deterred | B |
| The flax that Old Fate spun thy flights have stirred | B |
| And waved memorial grass of Marathon | A |
| Play but be gentle not as on that day | C |
| I saw thee running down the rims of doom | D |
| With stars thou hadst been stealing while they lay | C |
| Smothered in light and blue clasped to thy breast | E |
| Bring rather to me in the firelit room | D |
| A netted halcyon bird to sing of rest | E |
