Wings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCD ECEFCF| As a blue necked mallard alighting in a pool | A |
| Among marsh marigolds and splashing wet | B |
| Green leaves and yellow blooms like jewels set | B |
| In bright black mud with clear drops crystal cool | A |
| Bringing keen savours of the sea and stir | C |
| Of windy spaces where wild sunsets flame | D |
| To that dark inland dyke the thought of her | C |
| Into my brooding stagnant being came | D |
| - | |
| And all my senses quickened into life | E |
| Tingling and glittering and the salt and fire | C |
| Sang through my singing blood in eager strife | E |
| Until through crystal airs we seemed to be | F |
| Soaring together one fleet winged desire | C |
| Of windy sunsets and the wandering sea | F |
