The Outlaw's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGDEDE HIHIDEDE| The chough and crow to roost are gone | A |
| The owl sits on the tree | B |
| The hush'd wind wails with feeble moan | C |
| Like infant charity | B |
| The wild fire dances on the fen | D |
| The red star sheds its ray | E |
| Uprouse ye then my merry men | D |
| It is our op'ning day | E |
| - | |
| Both child and nurse are fast asleep | F |
| And closed is every flower | G |
| And winking tapers faintly peep | F |
| High from my lady's bower | G |
| Bewilder'd hinds with shorten'd ken | D |
| Shrink on their murky way | E |
| Uprouse ye then my merry men | D |
| It is our op'ning day | E |
| - | |
| Nor board nor garner own we now | H |
| Nor roof nor latch egrave d door | I |
| Nor kind mate bound by holy vow | H |
| To bless a good man's store | I |
| Noon lulls us in a gloomy den | D |
| And night is grown our day | E |
| Uprouse ye then my merry men | D |
| And use it as ye may | E |
