Our Bird Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIJIKLML| She lay asleep and her face shone white | A |
| As under a snowy veil | B |
| And the waxen hands clasped on her breast | C |
| Were full of snowdrops pale | B |
| But a holy calm touched the baby lips | D |
| The brow and the sleeping eyes | E |
| The look of an angel pitying us | F |
| From the peace of Paradise | G |
| - | |
| And now though she lies 'neath the coffin lid | H |
| We cannot think her dead | I |
| But we think of her as of some delicate bird | J |
| To a milder country fled | I |
| 'Twas a long dark flight for our gentle dove | K |
| Our bird so tender and fair | L |
| But we know she has reached the summer land | M |
| And folded her white wings there | L |
