The Song Of The Little Hunter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBDB EBEBFBGB HBHBIBJB| Ere Mor the Peacock flutters ere the Monkey People cry | A |
| Ere Chil the Kite swoops down a furlong sheer | B |
| Through the Jungle very softly flits a shadow and a sigh | A |
| He is Fear O Little Hunter he is Fear | B |
| Very softly down the glade runs a waiting watching shade | C |
| And the whisper spreads and widens far and near | B |
| And the sweat is on thy brow for he passes even now | D |
| He is Fear O Little Hunter he is Fear | B |
| - | |
| Ere the moon has climbed the mountain ere the rocks are ribbed with light | E |
| When the downward dipping trails are dank and drear | B |
| Comes a breathing hard behind thee snuffle snuffle through the night | E |
| It is Fear O Little Hunter it is Fear | B |
| On thy knees and draw the bow bid the shrilling arrow go | F |
| In the empty mocking thicket plunge the spear | B |
| But thy hands are loosed and weak and the blood has left thy cheek | G |
| It is Fear O Little Hunter it is Fear | B |
| - | |
| When the heat cloud sucks the tempest when the slivered pine trees fall | H |
| When the blinding blaring rain squalls lash and veer | B |
| Through the war gongs of the thunder rings a voice more loud than all | H |
| It is Fear O Little Hunter it is Fear | B |
| Now the spates are banked and deep now the footless boulders leap | I |
| Now the lightning shows each littlest leaf rib clear | B |
| But thy throat is shut and dried and thy heart against thy side | J |
| Hammers Fear O Little Hunter this is Fear | B |
