Magpies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFGHH| Along the road the magpies walk | A |
| with hands in pockets left and right | B |
| They tilt their heads and stroll and talk | A |
| In their well fitted black and white | B |
| - | |
| They look like certain gentlemen | C |
| who seem most nonchalant and wise | D |
| until their meal is served and then | E |
| what clashing beaks what greedy eyes | D |
| - | |
| But not one man that I have heard | F |
| throws back his head in such a song | G |
| of grace and praise no man nor bird | F |
| Their greed is brief their joy is long | G |
| For each is born with such a throat | H |
| as thanks his God with every note | H |
