The Cage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF| Why did you flutter in vain hope poor bird | A |
| Hard pressed in your small cage of clay | B |
| 'Twas but a sweet false echo that you heard | A |
| Caught only a feint of day | B |
| - | |
| Still is the night all dark a homeless dark | C |
| Burn yet the unanswering stars And silence brings | D |
| The same sea's desolate surge sans bound or mark | C |
| Of all your wanderings | D |
| - | |
| Fret now no more be still Those steadfast eyes | E |
| Those folded hands they cannot set you free | F |
| Only with beauty wake wild memories | G |
| Sorrow for where you are for where you would be | F |
