The Ancients Of The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CDAD CEBE| The salmon lying in the depths of Llyn Llifon | A |
| Secretly as a thought in a dark mind | B |
| Is not so old as the owl of Cwm Cowlyd | B |
| Who tells her sorrow nightly on the wind | B |
| - | |
| The ousel singing in the woods of Cilgwri | C |
| Tirelessly as a stream over the mossed stones | D |
| Is not so old as the toad of Cors Fochno | A |
| Who feels the cold skin sagging round his bones | D |
| - | |
| The toad and the ousel and the stag of Rhedynfre | C |
| That has cropped each leaf from the tree of life | E |
| Are not so old as the owl of Cwm Cowlyd | B |
| That the proud eagle would have to wife | E |
