Gold And Love For Dearie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCDE FBFBGGGD HBHBDDDI| 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 singing 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 a father delves | F |
| All night long all night long | B |
| None but the peering furtive elves | F |
| Sees his toil and hears 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 ' | - |
| - | |
| Mother is rocking thy lowly bed | H |
| All night long all night long | B |
| Happy to smooth thy curly head | H |
| 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 thy father stanch and bold | D |
| And the burthen it beareth is not of gold | D |
| But it 's 'Love love nothing but love | I |
| Mother's love for dearie ' | - |
