The Firetail's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDABEFAAGG| 'Tweet' pipes the robin as the cat creeps by | A |
| Her nestling young that in the elderns lie | A |
| And then the bluecap tootles in its glee | B |
| Picking the flies from orchard apple tree | B |
| And 'pink' the chaffinch cries its well known strain | C |
| Urging its kind to utter 'pink' again | D |
| While in a quiet mood hedgesparrows try | A |
| An inward stir of shadowed melody | B |
| Around the rotten tree the firetail mourns | E |
| As the old hedger to his toil returns | F |
| Chopping the grain to stop the gap close by | A |
| The hole where her blue eggs in safety lie | A |
| Of everything that stirs she dreameth wrong | G |
| And pipes her 'tweet tut' fears the whole day long | G |
