The Captive Lion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH| Thou that in fury with thy knotted tail | A |
| Hast made this iron floor thy beaten drum | B |
| That now in silence walkst thy little space | C |
| Like a sea captain careless what may come | B |
| - | |
| What power has brought thy majesty to this | D |
| Who gave those eyes their dull and sleepy look | E |
| Who took their lightning out and from thy throat | F |
| The thunder when the whole wide forest shook | E |
| - | |
| It was that man who went again alone | G |
| Into thy forest dark Lord he was brave | H |
| That man a fly has killed whose bones are left | I |
| Unburied till an earthquake digs his grave | H |
