Shepherd Swains That Feed Your Flocks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGCH| Shepherd swains that feed your flocks | A |
| 'Mong the grassy rooted rocks | A |
| While I still see sun and moon | B |
| Grant to me this simple boon | B |
| As I sit on craggy seat | C |
| And your kids and young lambs bleat | C |
| Let who on the pierced pipe blows | D |
| Play the sweetest air he knows | D |
| And when I no more shall hear | E |
| Grasshopper or chanticleer | E |
| Strew green bay and yellow broom | F |
| On the silence of my tomb | F |
| And still giving as you gave | G |
| Milk a she goat at my grave | G |
| For though life and joy be fled | C |
| Dear are love gifts to the dead ' | H |
