To Manon, Comparing Her To A Falcon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDBBABCECEC| BRAVE as a falcon and as merciless | A |
| With bright eyes watching still the world thy prey | B |
| I saw thee pass in thy lone majesty | C |
| Untamed unmated high above the press | D |
| The dull crowd gazed at thee It could not guess | D |
| The secret of thy proud aerial way | B |
| Or read in thy mute face the soul which lay | B |
| A prisoner there in chains of tenderness | A |
| Lo thou art captured In my hand today | B |
| I hold thee and awhile thou deignest to be | C |
| Pleased with my jesses I would fain beguile | E |
| My foolish heart to think thou lovest me See | C |
| I dare not love thee quite A little while | E |
| And thou shalt sail back heavenwards Woe is me | C |
