Song: The Weed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDD CECFGF| My mother told me this for true | A |
| That there behind the mountains | B |
| That wear the mists about their feet | C |
| And clouds about their summits | D |
| There grows the weed Forgetfulness | D |
| It grows there in the gullies | D |
| - | |
| If I but knew the way thereto | C |
| Three days long would I wander | E |
| And pick a handful of the weed | C |
| And drink it steeped in honey | F |
| That so I might forget your mouth | G |
| A thousand times that kissed me | F |
