To The Good Old-fashioned People Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EECC| The deadnin' and the thicket's jes' a b'ilin' full o' June | A |
| From the rattle o' the cricket to the yaller hammer's tune | A |
| And the catbird in the bottom and the sap suck on the snag | B |
| Seems's ef they cain't od rot 'em jes' do nothin' else but brag | B |
| - | |
| There' music in the twitter o' the bluebird and the jay | C |
| And that sassy little critter jes' a peckin' all the day | C |
| There' music in the flicker and there' music in the thrush | D |
| And there' music in the snicker o' the chipmunk in the brush | D |
| - | |
| There' music all around me And I go back in a dream | E |
| Sweeter yit than ever found me fast asleep And in the stream | E |
| That used to split the medder wher' the dandylions growed | C |
| I stand knee deep and redder than the sunset down the road | C |
