Autumn Birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCCDDEEFGHH| The wild duck startles like a sudden thought | A |
| And heron slow as if it might be caught | B |
| The flopping crows on weary wings go by | C |
| And grey beard jackdaws noising as they fly | C |
| The crowds of starnels whizz and hurry by | C |
| And darken like a clod the evening sky | C |
| The larks like thunder rise and suthy round | D |
| Then drop and nestle in the stubble ground | D |
| The wild swan hurries hight and noises loud | E |
| With white neck peering to the evening clowd | E |
| The weary rooks to distant woods are gone | F |
| With lengths of tail the magpie winnows on | G |
| To neighbouring tree and leaves the distant crow | H |
| While small birds nestle in the edge below | H |
