Little-oh Dear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBB DDEEBB FFGGAB HHIIAB| See what a wonderful garden is here | A |
| Planted and trimmed for my Little Oh Dear | B |
| Posies so gaudy and grass of such brown | C |
| Search ye the country and hunt ye the town | C |
| And never ye'll meet with a garden so queer | B |
| As this one I've made for my Little Oh Dear | B |
| - | |
| Marigolds white and buttercups blue | D |
| Lilies all dabbled with honey and dew | D |
| The cactus that trails over trellis and wall | E |
| Roses and pansies and violets all | E |
| Make proper obeisance and reverent cheer | B |
| When into her garden steps Little Oh Dear | B |
| - | |
| And up at the top of that lavender tree | F |
| A silver bird singeth as only can she | F |
| For ever and only she singeth the song | G |
| I love you I love you the happy day long | G |
| Then the echo the echo that smiteth me here | A |
| I love you I love you my Little Oh Dear | B |
| - | |
| The garden may wither the silver bird fly | H |
| But what careth my little precious or I | H |
| From her pathway of flowers that in spring time upstart | I |
| She walketh the tenderer way in my heart | I |
| And oh it is always the summer time here | A |
| With that song of I love you my Little Oh Dear | B |
