Deer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGHII| Shy in their herding dwell the fallow deer | A |
| They are spirits of wild sense Nobody near | A |
| Comes upon their pastures There a life they live | B |
| Of sufficient beauty phantom fugitive | C |
| Treading as in jungles free leopards do | D |
| Printless as evelight instant as dew | D |
| The great kine are patient and home coming sheep | E |
| Know our bidding The fallow deer keep | E |
| Delicate and far their counsels wild | F |
| Never to be folded reconciled | F |
| To the spoiling hand as the poor flocks are | G |
| Lightfoot and swift and unfamiliar | H |
| These you may not hinder unconfined | I |
| Beautiful flocks of the mind | I |
