The Right Sort Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEAFAF| We have hustled that litter in Heatherlie Whin | A |
| Two crouch in the bracken two dodge in the corn | A |
| But the fifth one as swift as the shadow of sin | A |
| Was away when he heard the first note of the horn | A |
| He skimmed the broad meadow in front of us all | B |
| With his brush in the air and his mask to the moor | C |
| Looking back with a grin from the top of the wall | B |
| Ere he dropped to the heather cool safe and secure | C |
| His brothers and sisters will fall by the way | D |
| They'll be harried and headed and chopped in a ride | E |
| But this one will live for a galloping day | D |
| And lead us and pound us and scatter us wide | E |
| Let him travel a good one We ll meet him again | A |
| When the fields in the dusk of December are dressed | F |
| We shall need all our courage to follow him then | A |
| When he steals o er the open a fox of the best | F |
