The Clover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDDEEFGHIJJKK LLFFMMNN| Some sings of the lily and daisy and rose | A |
| And the pansies and pinks that the Summertime | B |
| throws | A |
| In the green grassy lap of the medder that lays | C |
| Blinkin' up at the skyes through the sunshiney days | C |
| But what is the lily and all of the rest | D |
| Of the flowers to a man with a hart in his brest | D |
| That was dipped brimmin' full of the honey and dew | E |
| Of the sweet clover blossoms his babyhood knew | E |
| I never set eyes on a clover field now | F |
| Er fool round a stable er climb in the mow | G |
| But my childhood comes back jest as clear and as plane | H |
| As the smell of the clover I'm sniffin' again | I |
| And I wunder away in a bare footed dream | J |
| Whare I tangle my toes in the blossoms that gleam | J |
| With the dew of the dawn of the morning of love | K |
| Ere it wept ore the graves that I'm weepin' above | K |
| - | |
| And so I love clover it seems like a part | L |
| Of the sacerdest sorrows and joys of my hart | L |
| And wharever it blossoms oh thare let me bow | F |
| And thank the good God as I'm thankin' Him now | F |
| And I pray to Him still fer the stren'th when I die | M |
| To go out in the clover and tell it good bye | M |
| And lovin'ly nestle my face in its bloom | N |
| While my soul slips away on a breth of purfume | N |
