My Early Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGHIDID JKJLLDLD| Here sparrows build upon the trees | A |
| And stockdove hides her nest | B |
| The leaves are winnowed by the breeze | A |
| Into a calmer rest | B |
| The black cap's song was very sweet | C |
| That used the rose to kiss | D |
| It made the Paradise complete | C |
| My early home was this | D |
| - | |
| The red breast from the sweetbriar bush | E |
| Drop't down to pick the worm | F |
| On the horse chestnut sang the thrush | G |
| O'er the house where I was born | H |
| The moonlight like a shower of pearls | I |
| Fell o'er this bower of bliss | D |
| And on the bench sat boys and girls | I |
| My early home was this | D |
| - | |
| The old house stooped just like a cave | J |
| Thatched o'er with mosses green | K |
| Winter around the walls would rave | J |
| But all was calm within | L |
| The trees are here all green agen | L |
| Here bees the flowers still kiss | D |
| But flowers and trees seemed sweeter then | L |
| My early home was this | D |
