The Mower's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFEECC EEGGCC HIJKCC| My Mind was once the true survey | A |
| Of all these Medows fresh and gay | A |
| And in the greenness of the Grass | B |
| Did see its Hopes as in a Glass | B |
| When Juliana came and she | C |
| What I do to the Grass does to my Thoughts and Me | C |
| - | |
| But these while I with Sorrow pine | D |
| Grew more luxuriant still and fine | D |
| That not one Blade of Grass you spy'd | E |
| But had a Flower on either side | E |
| When Juliana came and She | C |
| What I do to the Grass does to my Thoughts and Me | C |
| - | |
| Unthankful Meadows could you so | F |
| A fellowship so true forego | F |
| And in your gawdy May games meet | E |
| While I lay trodden under feet | E |
| When Juliana came and She | C |
| What I do to the Grass does to my Thoughts and Me | C |
| - | |
| But what you in Compassion ought | E |
| Shall now by my Revenge be wrought | E |
| And Flow'rs and Grass and I and all | G |
| Will in one common Ruine fall | G |
| For Juliana comes and She | C |
| What I do to the Grass does to my Thoughts and Me | C |
| - | |
| And thus ye Meadows which have been | H |
| Companions of my thoughts more green | I |
| Shall now the Heraldry become | J |
| With which I shall adorn my Tomb | K |
| For Juliana comes and She | C |
| What I do to the Grass does to my Thoughts and Me | C |
