Riderless Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFEHIH JFJFKLLL| A broken bridle trailing | A |
| A saddle scratched and scarred | B |
| And Brown Bee at the railing | A |
| That rings the station yard | B |
| No stockman sits astride her | C |
| But by those flanks a foam | D |
| Wild Terror was the rider | C |
| That lashed the good mare home | D |
| - | |
| She snorts across the moonlight | E |
| Through nostrils red and wide | F |
| The challenge of the unbacked colt | G |
| To those who dare not ride | F |
| She snorts across the moonlight | E |
| Through nostrils wide and red | H |
| The terror of a dumb beast | I |
| That has looked upon the dead | H |
| - | |
| His saddle and his bridle | J |
| We ve softly laid aside | F |
| We ll leave the rough gear idle | J |
| Till he comes back to ride | F |
| But when the daylight gathers | K |
| And when the dawning pales | L |
| The brown mare stands and whinnies | L |
| With her lean head on the rails | L |
