The Wild Duck's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| The 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 |
