The Wren Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGFGHH IJEJKK LMNMEE ONJNPQWithin the greenhouse dim and damp | A |
The heat floats like a cloud | B |
Pale rose leaves droop from the rust roof | C |
With rust edged roses bowed | B |
As I go in | D |
Out flies the startled wren | E |
- | |
By the tall dark fir tree he sings | F |
Morn after morn still | G |
Shy and bold he flits and sings | F |
Tinily sweet and shrill | G |
As I go out | H |
His song follows me about | H |
- | |
About the orchard under trees | I |
Beaded with cherries bright | J |
Past the rat haunted Honeybourne | E |
And up those hills of light | J |
As up I go | K |
His notes more sweetly flow | K |
- | |
Or down those dark hills when night's there | L |
Full of dark thoughts and deep | M |
A thin clear soundless music comes | N |
Like stars in broken sleep | M |
When I come down | E |
All those dark thoughts are flown | E |
- | |
And now that sweetness is more sweet | O |
Here where the aeroplanes | N |
Labouring and groaning in the height | J |
Lift their lifeless vans | N |
Sweet sweet to hear | P |
The far off wren singing clear | Q |
