Early Nightingale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEFDGFFHH| When first we hear the shy come nightingales | A |
| They seem to mutter o'er their songs in fear | B |
| And climb we e'er so soft the spinney rails | A |
| All stops as if no bird was anywhere | C |
| The kindled bushes with the young leaves thin | D |
| Let curious eyes to search a long way in | D |
| Until impatience cannot see or hear | E |
| The hidden music gets but little way | F |
| Upon the path when up the songs begin | D |
| Full loud a moment and then low again | G |
| But when a day or two confirms her stay | F |
| Boldly she sings and loud for half the day | F |
| And soon the village brings the woodman's tale | H |
| Of having heard the new come nightingale | H |
