Statue And Birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBEB FBBB GHBH| Here in the withered arbor like the arrested wind | A |
| Straight sides carven knees | B |
| Stands the statue with hands flung out in alarm | C |
| Or remonstrances | B |
| - | |
| Over the lintel sway the woven bracts of the vine | D |
| In a pattern of angles | B |
| The quill of the fountain falters woods rake on the sky | E |
| Their brusque tangles | B |
| - | |
| The birds walk by slowly circling the marble girl | F |
| The golden quails | B |
| The pheasants closed up in their arrowy wings | B |
| Dragging their sharp tails | B |
| - | |
| The inquietudes of the sap and of the blood are spent | G |
| What is forsaken will rest | H |
| But her heel is lifted she would flee the whistle of the birds | B |
| Fails on her breast | H |
