Postponement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCC DDDB CCCBSNOW BOUND in woodland a mournful word | A |
Dropt now and then from the bill of a bird | A |
Reached me on wind wafts and thus I heard | A |
Wearily waiting | B |
- | |
I planned her a nest in a leafless tree | C |
But the passers eyed and twitted me | C |
And said 'How reckless a bird is he | C |
Cheerily mating ' | - |
- | |
Fear filled I stayed me till summer tide | D |
In lewth of leaves to throne her bride | D |
But alas her love for me waned and died | D |
Wearily waiting | B |
- | |
Ah had I been like some I see | C |
Born to an evergreen nesting tree | C |
None had eyed and twitted me | C |
Cheerily mating | B |
