The Truth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHIJ| Since I have seen a bird one day | A |
| His head pecked more than half away | A |
| That hopped about with but one eye | B |
| Ready to fight again and die | B |
| Ofttimes since then their private lives | C |
| Have spoilt that joy their music gives | C |
| - | |
| So when I see this robin now | D |
| Like a red apple on the bough | D |
| And question why he sings so strong | E |
| For love or for the love of song | E |
| Or sings maybe for that sweet rill | F |
| Whose silver tongue is never still | F |
| - | |
| Ah now there comes this thought unkind | G |
| Born of the knowledge in my mind | G |
| He sings in triumph that last night | H |
| He killed his father in a fight | H |
| And now he'll take his mother's blood | I |
| The last strong rival for his food | J |
