AABB (Raven): AABBA'B' (Karpeles). A 'fancy' is a whim, idea, notion, or inspiration, as in this stanza from Mary Austin's poem "A Pipe of Oaten Straw": | ||
<br> | <blockquote> | ||
<br> | ''Perhaps no loftier strains the shepherd knew''<br> | ||
''Than pee-whits calling the young world awake,''<br> | |||
''Or tranquil music such as hylas make''<br> | |||
''When jewel weeds drip all with starry dew,''<br> | |||
''Or cry of weanling lamb and travailing ewe,''<br> | |||
''Or rattling reeds that in the wind do quake,''<br> | |||
''Or wild, untutored melodies that brake''<br> | |||
''Across the piper's fancy while he blew.''<br> | |||
