Milking O' The Kye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEEF GGGDHHHD IIIDJJKD| Young Jenny wakens at the dawn | A |
| Fresh as carnations newly blown | B |
| And o'er the pasture every morn | C |
| Goes milking o' the kye | D |
| She sings her songs of happy glee | E |
| While round her swirls the humble bee | E |
| The butterfly from tree to tree | E |
| Goes gaily flirting by | F |

| Young Jenny was a bonny thing | G |
| As ever wakened in the Spring | G |
| And blythe she to herself could sing | G |
| At milking o' the kye | D |
| She loved to hear the old crows croak | H |
| Upon the ash tree and the oak | H |
| And noisy pies that almost spoke | H |
| At milking o' the kye | D |
| - | |
| She crop't the wild thyme every night | I |
| Scenting so sweet the dewy light | I |
| And hid it in her breast so white | I |
| At milking o' the kye | D |
| I met and clasped her in my arms | J |
| The finest flower on twenty farms | J |
| Her snow white breast my fancy warms | K |
| At milking o' the kye | D |
