Song: Love In The Open Air Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE FBFB| I'll love you in the open air | A |
| But stuffy rooms and blazing fires | B |
| And mirrors with familiar stare | A |
| Cloak and befoul my high desires | B |
| - | |
| The dearest day that I have known | C |
| Was in the fields when driving rain | D |
| Was like a veil around us thrown | C |
| A grey close veil without a stain | D |
| - | |
| The young oak tree was stripped and bare | A |
| But naked twigs a shelter made | E |
| Where curious cows came round to stare | A |
| And stood astonished and dismayed | E |
| - | |
| Let it be rain or summer sun | F |
| Smell of wet earth or scent of flowers | B |
| Love once more give me give me one | F |
| Of these enchanted lover's hours | B |
