The Miller's Daughter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE CFGHEE IJKJEE| It is the miller's daughter | A |
| And she is grown so dear so dear | B |
| That I would be the jewel | C |
| That trembles in her ear | D |
| For hid in ringlets day and night | E |
| I'd touch her neck so warm and white | E |
| - | |
| And I would be the girdle | C |
| About her dainty dainty waist | F |
| And her heart would beat against me | G |
| In sorrow and in rest | H |
| And I should know if it beat right | E |
| I'd clasp it round so close and tight | E |
| - | |
| And I would be the necklace | I |
| And all day long to fall and rise | J |
| Upon her balmy bosom | K |
| With her laughter or her sighs | J |
| And I would lie so light so light | E |
| I scarce should be unclasp'd at night | E |
