Yellow Warblers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBB CCDDD EEFFF FFCCC GGFFF| The first faint dawn was flushing up the skies | A |
| When dreamland still bewildering mine eyes | A |
| I looked out to the oak that winter long | B |
| a winter wild with war and woe and wrong | B |
| Beyond my casement had been void of song | B |
| - | |
| And lo with golden buds the twigs were set | C |
| Live buds that warbled like a rivulet | C |
| Beneath a veil of willows Then I knew | D |
| Those tiny voices clear as drops of dew | D |
| Those flying daffodils that fleck the blue | D |
| - | |
| Those sparkling visitants from myrtle isles | E |
| Wee pilgrims of the sun that measure miles | E |
| Innumerable over land and sea | F |
| With wings of shining inches Flakes of glee | F |
| They filled that dark old oak with jubilee | F |
| - | |
| Foretelling in delicious roundelays | F |
| Their dainty courtships on the dipping sprays | F |
| How they should fashion nests mate helping mate | C |
| Of milkweed flax and fern down delicate | C |
| To keep sky tinted eggs inviolate | C |
| - | |
| Listening to those blithe notes I slipped once more | G |
| From lyric dawn through dreamland's open door | G |
| And there was God Eternal Life that sings | F |
| Eternal joy brooding all mortal things | F |
| A nest of stars beneath untroubled wings | F |
