The Cricket's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HBCBIEJG CBKBLBMB HBNBBEIG| When all around from out the ground | A |
| The little flowers are peeping | B |
| And from the hills the merry rills | C |
| With vernal songs are leaping | B |
| I sing my song the whole day long | D |
| In woodland hedge and thicket | E |
| And sing it too the whole night through | F |
| For I 'm a merry cricket | G |
| - | |
| The children hear my chirrup clear | H |
| As in the woodland straying | B |
| They gather flow'rs through summer hours | C |
| And then I hear them saying | B |
| Sing sing away the livelong day | I |
| Glad songster of the thicket | E |
| With your shrill mirth you gladden earth | J |
| You merry little cricket | G |
| - | |
| When summer goes and Christmas snows | C |
| Are from the north returning | B |
| I quit my lair and hasten where | K |
| The old yule log is burning | B |
| And where at night the ruddy light | L |
| Of that old log is flinging | B |
| A genial joy o'er girl and boy | M |
| There I resume my singing | B |
| - | |
| And when they hear my chirrup clear | H |
| The children stop their playing | B |
| With eager feet they haste to greet | N |
| My welcome music saying | B |
| The little thing has come to sing | B |
| Of woodland hedge and thicket | E |
| Of summer day and lambs at play | I |
| Oh how we love the cricket | G |
