Up In The Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC CDCD DEDE| What would you see if I took you up | A |
| My little aerie stair | B |
| You would see the sky like a clear blue cup | A |
| Turned upside down in the air | B |
| - | |
| What would you do up my aerie stair | B |
| In my little nest on the tree | C |
| With cry upon cry you would ripple the air | B |
| To get at what you would see | C |
| - | |
| And what would you reach in the top of the tree | C |
| To still your grasping grief | D |
| Not a star would you clutch of all you would see | C |
| You would gather just one green leaf | D |
| - | |
| But when you had lost your greedy grief | D |
| Content to see from afar | E |
| Your hand it would hold a withering leaf | D |
| But your heart a shining star | E |
