Nughtingale And Cuckoo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Yes nightingale and cuckoo it was meet | A |
| That you should come together for ye twain | B |
| Are emblems of the rapture and the pain | B |
| That in the April of our life compete | A |
| Until we know not which is the more sweet | A |
| Nor yet have learned that both of them are vain | B |
| Yet wherefore nightingale break off thy strain | B |
| While yet the cuckoo doth his call repeat | A |
| Not so with me To sweet woe did I cling | C |
| Long after echoing happiness was dead | D |
| And so found solace Now alas the sting | C |
| Cuckoo and nightingale alike have fled | D |
| Neither for joy nor sorrow do I sing | C |
| And autumn silence gathers in their stead | D |
