Egrets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAA ACADAA| Once as I travelled through a quiet evening | A |
| I saw a pool jet black and mirror still | B |
| Beyond the slender paperbarks stood crowding | A |
| each on its own white image looked its fill | B |
| and nothing moved but thirty egrets wading | A |
| thirty egrets in a quiet evening | A |
| - | |
| Once in a lifetime lovely past believing | A |
| your lucky eyes may light on such a pool | C |
| As though for many years I had been waiting | A |
| I watched in silence till my heart was full | D |
| of clear dark water and white trees unmoving | A |
| and whiter yet those thirty egrets wading | A |
