City Trees Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| The trees along this city street | A |
| Save for the traffic and the trains | B |
| Would make a sound as thin and sweet | A |
| As trees in country lanes | B |
| - | |
| And people standing in their shade | C |
| Out of a shower undoubtedly | D |
| Would hear such music as is made | C |
| Upon a country tree | D |
| - | |
| Oh little leaves that are so dumb | E |
| Against the shrieking city air | F |
| I watch you when the wind has come | E |
| I know what sound is there | F |
