Hen's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHIJ| Among the orchard weeds from every search | A |
| Snugly and sure the old hen's nest is made | B |
| Who cackles every morning from her perch | A |
| To tell the servant girl new eggs are laid | B |
| Who lays her washing by and far and near | C |
| Goes seeking all about from day to day | D |
| And stung with nettles tramples everywhere | E |
| But still the cackling pullet lays away | D |
| The boy on Sundays goes the stack to pull | F |
| In hopes to find her there but naught is seen | G |
| And takes his hat and thinks to find it full | F |
| She's laid so long so many might have been | H |
| But naught is found and all is given o'er | I |
| Till the young brood come chirping to the door | J |
