About The Nightingale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A AABBCCDDEEFGHHIJ| From a letter from STC to Wordsworth after writing The Nightingale | A |
| - | |
| In stale blank verse a subject stale | A |
| I send per post my Nightingale | A |
| And like an honest bard dear Wordsworth | B |
| You'll tell me what you think my Bird's worth | B |
| My own opinion's briefly this | C |
| His bill he opens not amiss | C |
| And when he has sung a stave or so | D |
| His breast some small space below | D |
| So throbs swells that you might swear | E |
| No vulgar music's working there | E |
| So far so good but then 'od rot him | F |
| There's something falls off at his bottom | G |
| Yet sure no wonder it should breed | H |
| That my Bird's Tail's a tail indeed | H |
| And makes it's own inglorious harmony | I |
| olio crepit non carmine | J |
