The Wild Duck's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEEThe imperial Consort of the Fairy king | A |
Owns not a sylvan bower or gorgeous cell | B |
With emerald floored and with purpureal shell | B |
Ceilinged and roofed that is so fair a thing | A |
As this low structure for the tasks of Spring | A |
Prepared by one who loves the buoyant swell | B |
Of the brisk waves yet here consents to dwell | B |
And spreads in steadfast peace her brooding wing | A |
Words cannot paint the o'ershadowing yew tree bough | C |
And dimly gleaming Nest a hollow crown | D |
Of golden leaves inlaid with silver down | D |
Fine as the mother's softest plumes allow | C |
I gazed and self accused while gazing sighed | E |
For human kind weak slaves of cumbrous pride | E |
