The Little Peach Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA| A little peach in the orchard grew | A |
| A little peach of emerald hue | A |
| Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew | A |
| It grew | A |
| - | |
| One day passing that orchard through | A |
| That little peach dawned on the view | A |
| Of Johnny Jones and his sister Sue | A |
| Them two | A |
| - | |
| Up at that peach a club they threw | A |
| Down from the stem on which it grew | A |
| Fell that peach of emerald hue | A |
| Mon Dieu | A |
| - | |
| John took a bite and Sue a chew | A |
| And then the trouble began to brew | A |
| Trouble the doctor couldn't subdue | A |
| Too true | A |
| - | |
| Under the turf where the daisies grew | A |
| They planted John and his sister Sue | A |
| And their little souls to the angels flew | A |
| Boo hoo | A |
| - | |
| What of that peach of the emerald hue | A |
| Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew | A |
| Ah well its mission on earth is through | A |
| Adieu | A |
