Pixy Wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CB DEDE FEFE GHGH IHIH HEHE JEJE| The vat like cups of the fungus filled | A |
| With the rain that fell last night | B |
| Are casks of wine that the elves distilled | A |
| For revels the moon did light | B |
| - | |
| The owlet there with her 'Who oh who ' | - |
| And the frog with his 'All is right ' | - |
| Could tell a tale if they wanted to | C |
| Of what took place last night | B |
| - | |
| In that hollow beech where the wood decays | D |
| Their toadstool houses stand | E |
| A little village of drabs and grays | D |
| Cone roofed of Faeryland | E |
| - | |
| That moth which gleams like a lichen there | F |
| Is one of an elfin band | E |
| That whisks away if you merely dare | F |
| To try to understand | E |
| - | |
| The snail that slides on that mushroom's top | G |
| And the slug on its sleepy trail | H |
| Wax fat on the things the elves let drop | G |
| At feast in the moonlight pale | H |
| - | |
| The whippoorwill that grieves and grieves | I |
| If it would could tell a tale | H |
| Of what took place here under the leaves | I |
| Last night on the Dreamland Trail | H |
| - | |
| The trillium there and the Mayapple | H |
| With their white eyes opened wide | E |
| Of many a secret sight could tell | H |
| If speech were not denied | E |
| - | |
| Of many a pixy revelry | J |
| And rout on which they've spied | E |
| With the hollow tree which there you see | J |
| Opens its eye knots wide | E |
