In The Orchard (the Adventures Of Seumas Beg) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| There was a giant by the Orchard Wall | A |
| Peeping about on this side and on that | B |
| And feeling in the trees he was as tall | A |
| As the big apple tree and twice as fat | B |
| His beard was long and bristly black and there | C |
| Were leaves and bits of grass stuck in his hair | C |
| - | |
| He held a great big club in his right hand | D |
| And with the other felt in every tree | E |
| For something that he wanted You could stand | D |
| Beside him and not reach up to his knee | E |
| So mighty big he was I feared he would | F |
| Turn round and trample down to where I stood | F |
| - | |
| I tried to get away but as I slid | G |
| Under a bush he saw me and he bent | H |
| Far down and said Where is the Princess hid | G |
| I pointed to a place and off he went | H |
| But while he searched I turned and simply flew | I |
| Round by the lilac bushes back to you | I |
