The Lad's Love By The Gate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE FDFD| Down in the dear West Country there's a garden where I know | A |
| The Spring is rioting this hour though I am far away | B |
| Where all the glad flower faces are old loves of long ago | A |
| And each in its accustomed place is blossoming to day | B |
| - | |
| The lilac drops her amethysts upon the mossy wall | C |
| While in her boughs a cheerful thrush is calling to his mate | D |
| Dear breath of mignonette and stocks I love you know you all | C |
| And oh the fragrant spices from the lad's love by the gate | D |
| - | |
| Kind wind from the West Country wet wind but scented so | A |
| That straight from my dear garden you seem but lately come | E |
| Just tell me of the yellow broom the guelder rose's snow | A |
| And of the tangled clematis where myriad insects hum | E |
| - | |
| Oh is there any heartsease left or any rosemary | F |
| And in their own green solitudes say do the lilies wait | D |
| I knew it Gentle wind but once speak low and tenderly | F |
| How fares it tell me truly with the lad's love by the gate | D |
