Wild Geese Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBDBEFE GHIHJKFK BHBHJELE| A Lament for the Irish Jacobites | A |
| - | |
| I have heard the curlew crying | B |
| On a lonely moor and mere | C |
| And the sea gull's shriek in the gloaming | B |
| Is a lonely sound in the ear | D |
| And I've heard the brown thrush mourning | B |
| For her children stolen away | E |
| But it's O for the homeless Wild Geese | F |
| That sailed ere the dawn of day | E |
| - | |
| For the curlew out on the moorland | G |
| Hath five fine eggs in the nest | H |
| And the thrush will get her a new love | I |
| And sing her song with the best | H |
| As the swallow flies to the Summer | J |
| Will the gull return to the sea | K |
| But never the wings of the Wild Geese | F |
| Will flash over seas to me | K |
| - | |
| And 'tis ill to be roaming roaming | B |
| With homesick heart in the breast | H |
| And how long I've looked for your coming | B |
| And my heart is the empty nest | H |
| O sore in the land of the stranger | J |
| They'll pine for the land far away | E |
| But day of Aughrim my sorrow | L |
| It was you was the bitter day | E |
