Johnny's The Lad I Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDED FGHI JKLM FNFN OPEJP| As I roved out on a May morning | A |
| Being in the youthful spring | A |
| I leaned my back close to the garden wall | B |
| To hear the small birds sing | A |
| - | |
| And to hear two lovers talk my dear | C |
| To know what they would say | D |
| That I might know a little of her mind | E |
| Before I would go away | D |
| - | |
| Come sit you down my heart he says | F |
| All on this pleasant green | G |
| It's full three quarters of a year and more | H |
| Since together you and I have been | I |
| - | |
| I will not sit on the grass she said | J |
| Now nor any other time | K |
| For I hear you're engaged with another maid | L |
| And your heart is no more of mine | M |
| - | |
| Oh I'll not believe what an old man says | F |
| For his days are well nigh done | N |
| Nor will I believe what a young man says | F |
| For he's fair to many a one | N |
| - | |
| But I will climb a high high tree | O |
| And rob a wild bird's nest | P |
| And I'll bring back whatever I do find | E |
| To the arms I love the best she said | J |
| To the arms I love the best | P |
