Merry Maid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFCCGG| Bonny and stout and brown without a hat | A |
| She frowns offended when they call her fat | A |
| Yet fat she is the merriest in the place | B |
| And all can know she wears a pretty face | B |
| But still she never heeds what praise can say | C |
| But does the work and oft runs out to play | C |
| To run about the yard and ramp and noise | D |
| And spring the mop upon the servant boys | D |
| When old hens noise and cackle every where | E |
| She hurries eager if the eggs are dear | F |
| And runs to seek them when they lay away | C |
| To get them ready for the market day | C |
| She gambols with the men and laughs aloud | G |
| And only quarrels when they call her proud | G |
