The Chestnut Burr Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE EEFG HHII DDJJ| A wee little nut lay deep in its nest | A |
| Of satin and brown the softest and best | A |
| And slept and grew while its cradle rocked | B |
| As it hung in the boughs that interlocked | C |
| - | |
| Now the house was small where the cradle lay | D |
| As it swung in the winds by night and day | D |
| For a thicket of underbrush fenced it round | E |
| This lone little cot by the great sun browned | E |
| - | |
| This little nut grew and ere long it found | E |
| There was work outside on the soft green ground | E |
| It must do its part so the world might know | F |
| It had tried one little seed to sow | G |
| - | |
| And soon the house that had kept it warm | H |
| Was tossed about by the autumn storm | H |
| The stem was cracked the old house fell | I |
| And the chestnut burr was an empty shell | I |
| - | |
| But the little nut as it waiting lay | D |
| Dreamed a wonderful dream one day | D |
| Of how it should break its coat of brown | J |
| And live as a tree to grow up and down | J |
