The Cherry Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFEFGF HIHIJI| Come from your bed my drowsy gentleman | A |
| And you fair lady rise and braid your hair | B |
| And let the children wash if wash they can | C |
| If not assist you them and make them fair | B |
| As is the morning and the morning sky | D |
| And every tree and bush and bird in air | B |
| - | |
| The sun climbed on the heights three hours ago | E |
| He laughed above the hills and they were glad | F |
| With bubbled pearl he made the rivers flow | E |
| And laced their mists in silver and he clad | F |
| The meads in fragrant pomp of green and gold | G |
| And bade the world forget it had been sad | F |
| - | |
| So lift yourself good sir and you sweet dame | H |
| Unlash your evening eyes of pious grey | I |
| Call on the children by each loved name | H |
| And set them on the grass and let them play | I |
| And play with them a while and sing with them | J |
| Beneath the cherry bush a roundelay | I |
