Longfellow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDBCECECEF| The winds have talked with him confidingly | A |
| The trees have whispered to him and the night | B |
| Hath held him gently as a mother might | B |
| And taught him all sad tones of melody | C |
| The mountains have bowed to him and the sea | C |
| In clamorous waves and murmurs exquisite | D |
| Hath told him all her sorrow and delight | B |
| Her legends fair her darkest mystery | C |
| His verse blooms like a flower night and day | E |
| Bees cluster round his rhymes and twitterings | C |
| Of lark and swallow in an endless May | E |
| Are mingling with the tender songs he sings | C |
| Nor shall he cease to sing in every lay | E |
| Of Nature's voice he sings and will alway | F |
