Invective Against Swans Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB AC DE FG HI JJ| The soul O ganders flies beyond the parks | A |
| And far beyond the discords of the wind | B |
| - | |
| A bronze rain from the sun descending marks | A |
| The death of summer which that time endures | C |
| - | |
| Like one who scrawls a listless testament | D |
| Of golden quirks and Paphian caricatures | E |
| - | |
| Bequeathing your white feathers to the moon | F |
| And giving your bland motions to the air | G |
| - | |
| Behold already on the long parades | H |
| The crows anoint the statues with their dirt | I |
| - | |
| And the soul O ganders being lonely flies | J |
| Beyond your chilly chariots to the skies | J |
