To A Goose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDDBEFFEGG| If thou didst feed on western plains of yore | A |
| Or waddle wide with flat and flabby feet | B |
| Over some Cambrian mountain's plashy moor | C |
| Or find in farmer's yard a safe retreat | B |
| From gipsy thieves and foxes sly and fleet | B |
| If thy grey quills by lawyer guided trace | D |
| Deeds big with ruin to some wretched race | D |
| Or love sick poet's sonnet sad and sweet | B |
| Wailing the rigour of some lady fair | E |
| Or if the drudge of housemaid's daily toil | F |
| Cobwebs and dust thy pinion white besoil | F |
| Departed goose I neither know nor care | E |
| But this I know that thou wert very fine | G |
| Seasoned with sage and onions and port wine | G |
