Cornish Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCDE FBFBGGGDE HBHBDDDIE| Out on the mountain over the town | A |
| All night long all night long | B |
| The trolls go up and the trolls go down | A |
| Bearing their packs and crooning a song | B |
| And this is the song the hill folk croon | C |
| As they trudge in the light of the misty moon | C |
| This is ever their dolorous tune | C |
| Gold gold ever more gold | D |
| Bright red gold for dearie | E |
| - | |
| Deep in the hill the yeoman delves | F |
| All night long all night long | B |
| None but the peering furtive elves | F |
| See his toil and hear his song | B |
| Merrily ever the cavern rings | G |
| As merrily ever his pick he swings | G |
| And merrily ever this song he sings | G |
| Gold gold ever more gold | D |
| Bright red gold for dearie | E |
| - | |
| Mother is rocking thy lowly bed | H |
| All night long all night long | B |
| Happy to smooth thy curly head | H |
| And to hold thy hand and to sing her song | B |
| 'T is not of the hill folk dwarfed and old | D |
| Nor the song of the yeoman stanch and bold | D |
| And the burden it beareth is not of gold | D |
| But it's Love love nothing but love | I |
| Mother's love for dearie | E |
