The Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCBBC DEFFD

The Tree's early leaf buds were bursting their brownA
Shall I take them away said the Frost sweeping downA
No leave them aloneB
Till the blossoms have grownB
Prayed the Tree while he trembled from rootlet to crownA
-
The Tree bore his blossoms and all the birds sungC
Shall I take them away said the Wind as he swungC
No leave them aloneB
Till the berries have grownB
Said the Tree while his leaflets quivering hungC
-
The Tree bore his fruit in the mid summer glowD
Said the girl May I gather thy berries nowE
Yes all thou canst seeF
Take them all are for theeF
Said the Tree while he bent down his laden boughs lowD
