Climbing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FGHH BBAA| High up in the apple tree climbing I go | A |
| With the sky above me the earth below | A |
| Each branch is the step of a wonderful stair | B |
| Which leads to the town I see shining up there | B |
| - | |
| Climbing climbing higher and higher | C |
| The branches blow and I see a spire | D |
| The gleam of a turret the glint of a dome | E |
| All sparkling and bright like white sea foam | E |
| - | |
| On and on from bough to bough | F |
| The leaves are thick but I push my way through | G |
| Before I have always had to stop | H |
| But to day I am sure I shall reach the top | H |
| - | |
| Today to the end of the marvelous stair | B |
| Where those glittering pinacles flash in the air | B |
| Climbing climbing higher I go | A |
| With the sky close above me the earth far below | A |
