Birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HAIA JKLK MNON| When our two souls have left this mortal clay | A |
| And seeking mine you think that mine is lost | B |
| Look for me first in that Elysian glade | C |
| Where Lesbia is for whom the birds sing most | D |
| - | |
| What happy hearts those feathered mortals have | E |
| That sing so sweet when they're wet through in spring | F |
| For in that month of May when leaves are young | G |
| Birds dream of song and in their sleep they sing | F |
| - | |
| And when the spring has gone and they are dumb | H |
| Is it not fine to watch them at their play | A |
| Is it not fine to see a bird that tries | I |
| To stand upon the end of every spray | A |
| - | |
| See how they tilt their pretty heads aside | J |
| When women make that move they always please | K |
| What cosy homes birds make in leafy walls | L |
| That Nature's love has ruined and the trees | K |
| - | |
| Oft have I seen in fields the little birds | M |
| Go in between a bullock's legs to eat | N |
| But what gives me most joy is when I see | O |
| Snow on my doorstep printed by their feet | N |
