The Apple Tree (the Adventures Of Seumas Beg) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDDD| I was hiding in the crooked apple tree | A |
| Scouting for Indians when a man came | B |
| I thought it was an Indian for he | A |
| Was running like the wind There was a flame | B |
| Of sunlight on his hand as he drew near | C |
| And then I saw a knife gripped in his fist | D |
| He panted like a horse his eyes were queer | C |
| Wide open staring frightfully and hist | D |
| His mouth stared open like another eye | E |
| And all his hair was matted down with sweat | D |
| I crouched among the leaves for fear he'd spy | E |
| Where I was hiding so he did not get | D |
| His awful eyes on me but like the wind | D |
| He fled as if he heard something behind | D |
