Under A Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII FFJJKK LLMMNNUNDER 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 |
