A Birthday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCEC FGGGGGHC| My heart is like a singing bird | A |
| Whose nest is in a watered shoot | B |
| My heart is like an apple tree | C |
| Whose boughs are bent with thick set fruit | B |
| My heart is like a rainbow shell | D |
| That paddles in a halcyon sea | C |
| My heart is gladder than all these | E |
| Because my love is come to me | C |
| - | |
| Raise me a dais of silk and down | F |
| Hang it with vair and purple dyes | G |
| Carve it in doves and pomegranates | G |
| And peacocks with a hundred eyes | G |
| Work it in gold and silver grapes | G |
| In leaves and silver fleurs de lys | G |
| Because the birthday of my life | H |
| Is come my love is come to me | C |
