The Kingfisher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDBEFEGGHIJIKK| It was the Rainbow gave thee birth | A |
| And left thee all her lovely hues | B |
| And as her mother s name was Tears | C |
| So runs it in my blood to choose | B |
| For haunts the lonely pools and keep | D |
| In company with trees that weep | D |
| Go you and with such glorious hues | B |
| Live with proud peacocks in green parks | E |
| On lawns as smooth as shining glass | F |
| Let every feather show its marks | E |
| Get thee on boughs and clap thy wings | G |
| Before the windows of proud kings | G |
| Nay lovely Bird thou art not vain | H |
| Thou hast no proud ambitious mind | I |
| I also love a quiet place | J |
| That s green away from all mankind | I |
| A lonely pool and let a tree | K |
| Sigh with her bosom over me | K |
