In Hilly-wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEBFBF| How sweet to be thus nestling deep in boughs | A |
| Upon an ashen stoven pillowing me | B |
| Faintly are heard the ploughmen at their ploughs | A |
| But not an eye can find its way to see | B |
| The sunbeams scarce molest me with a smile | C |
| So thick the leafy armies gather round | D |
| And where they do the breeze blows cool the while | C |
| Their leafy shadows dancing on the ground | D |
| Full many a flower too wishing to be seen | E |
| Perks up its head the hiding grass between | E |
| In mid wood silence thus how sweet to be | B |
| Where all the noises that on peace intrude | F |
| Come from the chittering cricket bird and bee | B |
| Whose songs have charms to sweeten solitude | F |
