Mouse's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFAAGG| I found a ball of grass among the hay | A |
| And progged it as I passed and went away | A |
| And when I looked I fancied something stirred | B |
| And turned again and hoped to catch the bird | B |
| When out an old mouse bolted in the wheats | C |
| With all her young ones hanging at her teats | C |
| She looked so odd and so grotesque to me | D |
| I ran and wondered what the thing could be | D |
| And pushed the knapweed bunches where I stood | E |
| Then the mouse hurried from the craking brood | F |
| The young ones squeaked and as I went away | A |
| She found her nest again among the hay | A |
| The water o'er the pebbles scarce could run | G |
| And broad old cesspools glittered in the sun | G |
