The Willow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDD DDDDEFEF ADADDDDD| A song for the willow the wild weeping willow | A |
| That murmurs a dirge to the rapturous days | B |
| And moans when the kiss of the breeze laden billow | A |
| Entangles and dangles among the sad sprays | B |
| A musical ditty to scatter the sadness | C |
| A warble of wildness to banish its tears | D |
| Till tremulous measures of bountiful gladness | D |
| Be sounding and bounding through all of the years | D |
| - | |
| The beautiful brooks as they waken from slumbers | D |
| Pause under the shadows that fall from the boughs | D |
| And weave their caresses in passionate numbers | D |
| While soothing and smoothing the frowns from its brows | D |
| But chained in the desolate sorrows of weeping | E |
| Its heart never warms to the raptures of mirth | F |
| And over its bosom no pleasures are creeping | E |
| While wending and blending their joys with the earth | F |
| - | |
| Then sing for the willow the wild weeping willow | A |
| That droops in the smiles of the summer born times | D |
| And mourns in the kiss of the sweet scented billow | A |
| When beaming and gleaming are dripping with chimes | D |
| While melodies move where their happiness lingers | D |
| They surely will gladden the tear laden sprays | D |
| And music that flutters from fairy like fingers | D |
| Will lighten and brighten the burdensome days | D |
