Green Things Growing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA AACA AADA AAEA AAFA| O the green things growing the green things growing | A |
| The faint sweet smell of the green things growing | A |
| I should like to live whether I smile or grieve | B |
| Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing | A |
| - | |
| O the fluttering and the pattering of those green things growing | A |
| How they talk each to each when none of us are knowing | A |
| In the wonderful white of the weird moonlight | C |
| Or the dim dreamy dawn when the cocks are crowing | A |
| - | |
| I love I love them so my green things growing | A |
| And I think that they love me without false showing | A |
| For by many a tender touch they comfort me so much | D |
| With the soft mute comfort of green things growing | A |
| - | |
| And in the rich store of their blossoms glowing | A |
| Ten for one I take they're on me bestowing | A |
| Oh I should like to see if God's will it may be | E |
| Many many a summer of my green things growing | A |
| - | |
| But if I must be gathered for the angel's sowing | A |
| Sleep out of sight awhile like the green things growing | A |
| Though dust to dust return I think I'll scarcely mourn | F |
| If I may change into green things growing | A |
