The Partridge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIIJ| List the booming from afar | A |
| Soft as hum of roving bee | B |
| Vague as when on distant bar | A |
| Fall the cataracts of the sea | B |
| - | |
| Yet again a sound astray | C |
| Was it the humming of the mill | D |
| Was it cannon leagues away | C |
| Or dynamite beyond the hill | D |
| - | |
| 'T is the grouse with kindled soul | E |
| Wistful of his mate and nest | F |
| Sounding forth his vernal roll | E |
| On his love enkindled breast | F |
| - | |
| List his fervid morning drum | G |
| List his summons soft and deep | H |
| Calling Spice bush till she come | G |
| Waking Bloodroot from her sleep | H |
| - | |
| Ah ruffled drummer let thy wing | I |
| Beat a march the days will heed | J |
| Wake and spur the tardy spring | I |
| Till minstrel voices jocund ring | I |
| And spring is spring in very deed | J |
