Among The Green Bushes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB DFDFGHIH AJKJKLML ANMNDNDN| Among the green bushes the songs of the thrushes | A |
| Are answering each other in music and glee | B |
| While the magpies and rooks in woods hedges near brooks | C |
| Mount their Spring dwellings on every high tree | B |
| There meet me at eve love we'll on grassy banks lean love | D |
| And crop a white branch from the scented may tree | B |
| Where the silver brook wimples and the rosy cheek dimples | E |
| Sweet will the time of that courting hour be | B |
| - | |
| We'll notice wild flowers love that grow by thorn bowers love | D |
| Though sinful to crop them now beaded with dew | F |
| The violet is thine love the primrose is mine love | D |
| To Spring and each other so blooming and true | F |
| With dewdrops all beaded the feather grass seeded | G |
| The cloud mountains turn to dark woods in the sky | H |
| The daisy bud closes while sleep the hedge roses | I |
| There's nothing seems wakeful but you love and I | H |
| - | |
| Larks sleep in the rushes linnets perch on the bushes | A |
| While mag's on her nest with her tail peeping out | J |
| The moon it reveals her yet she thinks night conceals her | K |
| Though birdnesting boys are not roving about | J |
| The night winds won't wrong her nor aught that belong her | K |
| For night is the nurse of all Nature in sleep | L |
| The moon love is keeping a watch o'er the sleeping | M |
| And dews for real pleasure do nothing but weep | L |
| - | |
| Among the green bushes we'll sit with the thrushes | A |
| And blackbirds and linnets an hour or two long | N |
| That are up at the dawning by times in the morning | M |
| To cheer thee when milking with music and song | N |
| Then come at the eve love and where the banks lean love | D |
| By the brook that flows on in its dribbles of song | N |
| While the moon looks so pale love and the trees look so hale love | D |
| I will tell thee a tale love an hour or two long | N |
