The Collar-bone Of A Hare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEAFAFGAGFWould I could cast a sad on the water | A |
Where many a king has gone | B |
And many a king's daughter | A |
And alight at the comely trees and the lawn | B |
The playing upon pipes and the dancing | C |
And learn that the best thing is | D |
To change my loves while dancing | C |
And pay but a kiss for a kiss | E |
I would find by the edge of that water | A |
The collar bone of a hare | F |
Worn thin by the lapping of water | A |
And pierce it through with a gimlet and stare | F |
At the old bitter world where they marry in churches | G |
And laugh over the untroubled water | A |
At all who marry in churches | G |
Through the white thin bone of a hare | F |
William Butler Yeats
