The Wren-s Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFAB GGHHIJKAB LLMMNOPQRRAB| I TOOK the wren's nest | A |
| Heaven forgive me | B |
| Its merry architects so small | C |
| Had scarcely finished their wee hall | C |
| That empty still and neat and fair | D |
| Hung idly in the summer air | D |
| The mossy walls the dainty door | E |
| Where Love should enter and explore | E |
| And Love sit carolling outside | F |
| And Love within chirp multiplied | F |
| I took the wren's nest | A |
| Heaven forgive me | B |
| - | |
| How many hours of happy pains | G |
| Through early frosts and April rains | G |
| How many songs at eve and morn | H |
| O'er springing grass and greening corn | H |
| Before the pretty house was made | I |
| One little minute only one | J |
| And she'll fly back and find it gone | K |
| I took the wren's nest | A |
| Bird forgive me | B |
| - | |
| Thou and thy mate sans let sans fear | L |
| Ye have before you all the year | L |
| And every wood holds nooks for you | M |
| In which to sing and build and woo | M |
| One piteous cry of birdish pain | N |
| And ye'll begin your life again | O |
| And quite forget the lost lost home | P |
| In many a busy home to come | Q |
| But I Your wee house keep I must | R |
| Until it crumble into dust | R |
| I took the wren's nest | A |
| God forgive me | B |
