Under A Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII FFJJKK LLMMNN| UNDER a tree where the breezes blow | A |
| There is the spot that it's good to go | A |
| With the children bronzed by the Summer sun | B |
| Bubbling with laughter and wholesome fun | B |
| And I gather them round all the happy clan | C |
| And forget for a while I'm a grizzled old man | C |
| - | |
| Marjorie Florence and fair Lucille | D |
| Freddy and Denny and then we steal | D |
| An hour or two from the clock of life | E |
| The quest of gold and the constant strife | E |
| The clamor and noise of a city day | F |
| For the peace and joy of a bit of play | F |
| - | |
| Pirate stories for boys we tell | G |
| For there is the place to tell them well | G |
| With treasure islands we build in sand | H |
| And we mark the spot where the pirates land | H |
| And even the place where the gold was hid | I |
| By that master of pirates old Captain Kidd | I |
| - | |
| Then we leave the pirates and run away | F |
| To the wonderful glens where the fairies play | F |
| And under the tree where the breezes are | J |
| We summon the fairies with crown and star | J |
| And I tell of the wonderful things they do | K |
| When the sun is up and the skies are blue | K |
| - | |
| And the far off world may call and call | L |
| But I never hear through my little wall | L |
| Of innocent youngsters that hem me in | M |
| I finish one tale and a new begin | M |
| And there we sit underneath the tree | N |
| Till mother calls all of us in for tea | N |
