Dyke Side Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGH| The frog croaks loud and maidens dare not pass | A |
| But fear the noisome toad and shun the grass | A |
| And on the sunny banks they dare not go | B |
| Where hissing snakes run to the flood below | B |
| The nuthatch noises loud in wood and wild | C |
| Like women turning skreeking to a child | C |
| The schoolboy hears and brushes through the trees | D |
| And runs about till drabbled to the knees | D |
| The old hawk winnows round the old crow's nest | E |
| The schoolboy hears and wonder fills his breast | E |
| He throws his basket down to climb the tree | F |
| And wonders what the red blotched eggs can be | F |
| The green woodpecker bounces from the view | G |
| And hollos as he buzzes bye 'kew kew ' | H |
