To Robin Redbreast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEEBB FGFHIJJJGG KBKBLMMMBB| Merrily 'mid the faded leaves | A |
| O Robin of the bright red breast | B |
| Cheerily over the Autumn eaves | A |
| Thy note is heard bonny bird | C |
| Sent to cheer us and kindly endear us | D |
| To what would be a sorrowful time | E |
| Without thee in the weltering clime | E |
| Merry art thou in the boughs of the lime | E |
| While thy fadeless waistcoat glows on thy breast | B |
| In Autumn's reddest livery drest | B |
| - | |
| A merry song a cheery song | F |
| In the boughs above on the sward below | G |
| Chirping and singing the live day long | F |
| While the maple in grief sheds its fiery leaf | H |
| And all the trees waning with bitter complaining | I |
| Chestnut and elm and sycamore | J |
| Catch the wild gust in their arms and roar | J |
| Like the sea on a stormy shore | J |
| Till wailfully they let it go | G |
| And weep themselves naked and weary with woe | G |
| - | |
| Merrily cheerily joyously still | K |
| Pours out the crimson crested tide | B |
| The set of the season burns bright on the hill | K |
| Where the foliage dead falls yellow and red | B |
| Picturing vainly but foretelling plainly | L |
| The wealth of cottage warmth that comes | M |
| When the frost gleams and the blood numbs | M |
| And then bonny Robin I'll spread thee out crumbs | M |
| In my garden porch for thy redbreast pride | B |
| The song and the ensign of dear fireside | B |
