A Statue Of Figwood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGEHHHII| For yon oaken avenue swain you must steer | A |
| Where a statue of figwood you'll see has been set | B |
| It has never been barked has three legs and no ear | C |
| But I think there is life in the patriarch yet | B |
| He is handsomely shrined within fair chapel walls | D |
| Where fringed with sweet cypress and myrtle and bay | E |
| A stream ever fresh from the rock's hollow falls | D |
| And the ringleted vine her ripe shore doth display | E |
| And the blackbirds those whrill piping songsters of spring | F |
| Wake the echoes with wild inarticulate song | G |
| And the notes of the nightingale plaintively ring | F |
| As she pours from her dun throat her lay sweet and strong | G |
| Sitting there to Priapus the gracious one pray | E |
| That the lore he has taught me I soon may unlearn | H |
| Say I'll give him a kid and in case he says nay | H |
| To this offer three victims to him will I burn | H |
| A kid a fleeced ram and a lamb sleek and fat | I |
| He will listen mayhap to my prayers upon that | I |
