Wings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEEBFFDGGBHHD| GRAY gulls that wheeled and dipped and rose | A |
| Where tossing crests like Alpine snows | A |
| Would shimmer and entice | B |
| A stormy petrel Judas soul | C |
| Dark wanderer of the waste whose goal | C |
| No mariner hath seen | D |
| And flaming from the vanished sun | E |
| A wondrous wing vermilion | E |
| A bird of Paradise | B |
| A soaring wing that shone so far | F |
| The orient horizon bar | F |
| Flushed and the sea between | D |
| Like an Arabian carpet glowed | G |
| With changeful hues where subtly flowed | G |
| Some magical device | B |
| And one pale plume in heaven's dim dome | H |
| Above that fairy colored foam | H |
| The new moon's ghostly sheen | D |
