The Wild Duck Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDCEFGHFIG IHF

Twilight Red in the WestA
Dimness A glow on the woodB
The teams plod home to restA
The wild duck come to gleanC
O souls not understoodB
What a wild cry in the poolD
What things have the farm ducks seenC
That they cry so huddle and cryE
Only the soul that goesF
Eager Eager FlyingG
Over the globe of the moonH
Over the wood that glowsF
Wings linked Necks a strainI
A rush and a wild cryingG
-
A cry of the long painI
In the reeds of a steel lagoonH
In a land that no man knowsF
