Round-pond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEC FG HIDJK LM| Water ruffled and speckled by galloping wind | A |
| Which puffs and spurts it into tiny pashing breaks | B |
| Dashed with lemon yellow afternoon sunlight | C |
| The shining of the sun upon the water | D |
| Is like a scattering of gold crocus petals | E |
| In a long wavering irregular flight | C |
| - | |
| The water is cold to the eye | F |
| As the wind to the cheek | G |
| - | |
| In the budding chestnuts | H |
| Whose sticky buds glimmer and are half burst open | I |
| The starlings make their clitter clatter | D |
| And the blackbirds in the grass | J |
| Are getting as fat as the pigeons | K |
| - | |
| Too hoo this is brave | L |
| Even the cold wind is seeking a new mistress | M |
