Bird Watcher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF GHIHJJ| In Wall Street once a potent power | A |
| And now a multi millionaire | B |
| Alone within a shady bower | A |
| In clothes his valet would not wear | B |
| He watches bird wings bright the air | B |
| - | |
| The man who mighty mergers planned | C |
| And oil and coal kinglike controlled | D |
| With field glasses in failing hand | C |
| Spies downy nestlings five days old | D |
| With joy he could not buy for gold | D |
| - | |
| Aye even childlike is his glee | E |
| But how he crisps with hate and dread | F |
| And shakes a clawlike fist to see | E |
| A kestrel hover overhead | F |
| Though he would never shoot it dead | F |
| - | |
| Although his cook afar doth forage | G |
| For food to woo his appetite | H |
| The old man lives on milk and porridge | I |
| And now it is his last delight | H |
| At eve if one lone linnet lingers | J |
| To pick crushed almonds from his fingers | J |
