The Caged Thrush Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEAlas for the bird who was born to sing | A |
They have made him a cage they have clipped his wing | A |
They have shut him up in a dingy street | B |
And they praise his singing and call it sweet | B |
But his heart and his song are saddened and filled | C |
With the woods and the nest he never will build | C |
And the wild young dawn coming into the tree | D |
And the mate that never his mate will be | D |
And day by day when his notes are heard | E |
They freshen the street but alas for the bird | E |
