Caterpillars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADAA EFGF HIHI| Of caterpillars Fabre tells how day after day | A |
| Around the rim of a vast earth pot they crawled | B |
| Tricked thither as they filed shuffling out one morn | C |
| Head to tail when the common hunger called | B |
| - | |
| Head to tail in a heaving ring day after day | A |
| Night after slow night the starving mommets crept | D |
| Each following each head to tail day after day | A |
| An unbroken ring of hunger then it was snapt | A |

| I thought of you long heaving horned green caterpillars | E |
| As I lay awake My thoughts crawled each after each | F |
| Crawling at night each after each on the same nerve | G |
| An unbroken ring of thoughts too sore for speech | F |
| - | |
| Over and over and over and over again | H |
| The same hungry thoughts and the hopeless same regrets | I |
| Over and over the same truths again and again | H |
| In a heaving ring returning the same regrets | I |
