Atavism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JDKD| Deep in the jungle vast and dim | A |
| That knew not a white man's feet | B |
| I smelt the odour of sun warmed fur | C |
| Musky savage and sweet | B |
| - | |
| Far it was from the huts of men | D |
| And the grass where Sambur feed | E |
| I threw a stone at a Kadapu tree | F |
| That bled as a man might bleed | E |
| - | |
| Scent of fur and colour of blood | G |
| And the long dead instincts rose | H |
| I followed the lure of my season's mate | I |
| And flew bare fanged at my foes | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Pale days and a league of laws | J |
| Made by the whims of men | D |
| Would I were back with my furry cubs | K |
| In the dusk of a jungle den | D |
