Defton Wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHGHGIGI BJKJLHHHGMGMGIGI| I held my way through Defton Wood | A |
| And on to Wandor Hall | B |
| The dancing leaf let down the light | C |
| In hovering spots to fall | B |
| O young young leaves you match me well | D |
| My heart was merry and sung | E |
| Now wish me joy of my sweet youth | F |
| My love she too is young | E |
| O so many many many | G |
| Little homes above my head | H |
| O so many many many | G |
| Dancing blossoms round me spread | H |
| O so many many many | G |
| Maidens sighing yet for none | I |
| Speed ye wooers speed with any | G |
| Speed with all but one | I |
| - | |
| I took my leave of Wandor Hall | B |
| And trod the woodland ways | J |
| What shall I do so long to bear | K |
| The burden of my days | J |
| I sighed my heart into the boughs | L |
| Whereby the culvers cooed | H |
| For only I between them went | H |
| Unwooing and unwooed | H |
| O so many many many | G |
| Lilies bending stately heads | M |
| O so many many many | G |
| Strawberries ripened on their beds | M |
| O so many many many | G |
| Maids and yet my heart undone | I |
| What to me are all are any | G |
| I have lost my one | I |
