- The poem follows an AABB rhyme scheme in each stanza.
- In the first stanza, "air" rhymes with "where," and "sight" rhymes with "flight."
- In the second stanza, "air" rhymes with "where," and "strong" rhymes with "song."
- In the third stanza, "oak" rhymes with "unbroke," "end" rhymes with "friend," and "song" rhymes with "long."
- This consistent rhyme pattern creates a musical, flowing rhythm that enhances the poem’s theme of harmony between the arrow and the song, reinforcing the idea of something enduring and returning, much like a melody or a friendship.
