The Poet And The Caged Turtledove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEG HHHHIJIJ JKJKLJLJ| As often as I murmur here | A |
| My half formed melodies | B |
| Straight from her osier mansion near | C |
| The Turtledove replies | D |
| Though silent as a leaf before | E |
| The captive promptly coos | F |
| Is it to teach her own soft lore | E |
| Or second my weak Muse | G |
| - | |
| I rather think the gentle Dove | H |
| Is murmuring a reproof | H |
| Displeased that I from lays of love | H |
| Have dared to keep aloof | H |
| That I a Bard of hill and dale | I |
| Have caroled fancy free | J |
| As if nor dove nor nightingale | I |
| Had heart or voice for me | J |
| - | |
| If such thy meaning O forbear | J |
| Sweet Bird to do me wrong | K |
| Love blessed Love is everywhere | J |
| The spirit of my song | K |
| 'Mid grove and by the calm fireside | L |
| Love animates my lyre | J |
| That coo again 'tis not to chide | L |
| I feel but to inspire | J |
