The Vixen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBEEBB| Among the taller wood with ivy hung | A |
| The old fox plays and dances round her young | A |
| She snuffs and barks if any passes by | B |
| And swings her tail and turns prepared to fly | B |
| The horseman hurries by she bolts to see | C |
| And turns agen from danger never free | C |
| If any stands she runs among the poles | D |
| And barks and snaps and drive them in the holes | D |
| The shepherd sees them and the boy goes by | B |
| And gets a stick and progs the hole to try | B |
| They get all still and lie in safety sure | E |
| And out again when everything's secure | E |
| And start and snap at blackbirds bouncing by | B |
| To fight and catch the great white butterfly | B |
