The Runaway Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBCDEFDDEFGGEHEHI I| Once when the snow of the year was beginning to fall | A |
| We stopped by a mountain pasture to say Whose colt | B |
| A little Morgan had one forefoot on the wall | A |
| The other curled at his breast He dipped his head | C |
| And snorted to us And then we saw him bolt | B |
| We heard the miniature thunder where he fled | C |
| And we saw him or thought we saw him dim and gray | D |
| Like a shadow across instead of behind the flakes | E |
| The little fellow's afraid of the falling snow | F |
| He never saw it before It isn't play | D |
| With the little fellow at all He's running away | D |
| He wouldn't believe when his mother told him 'Sakes | E |
| It's only weather ' He thought she didn't know | F |
| So this is something he has to bear alone | G |
| And now he comes again with a clatter of stone | G |
| He mounts the wall again with whited eyes | E |
| Dilated nostrils and tail held straight up straight | H |
| He shudders his coat as if to throw off flies | E |
| Whoever it is that leaves him out so late | H |
| When all other creatures have gone to stall and bin | I |
| Ought to be told to come and take him in | I |
