The Songster Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CBCB DEFFDE CBCBMusic music with throb and swing | A |
Of a plaintive note and long | B |
'Tis a note no human throat could sing | A |
No harp with its dulcet golden string | A |
Nor lute nor lyre with liquid ring | A |
Is sweet as the robin's song | B |

He sings for love of the season | C |
When the days grow warm and long | B |
For the beautiful God sent reason | C |
That his breast was born for song | B |

Calling calling so fresh and clear | D |
Through the song sweet days of May | E |
Warbling there and whistling here | F |
He swells his voice on the drinking ear | F |
On the great wide pulsing atmosphere | D |
Till his music drowns the day | E |

He sings for love of the season | C |
When the days grow warm and long | B |
For the beautiful God sent reason | C |
That his breast was born for song | B |
