Phoebe Of The Scottish Glen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEEAEA FEEEEAEAAgen I'll take my idle pen | A |
And sing my bonny mountain maid | B |
Sweet Phoebe of the Scottish glen | A |
Nor of her censure feel afraid | B |
I'll charm her ear with beauty's praise | C |
And please her eye with songs agen | A |
The ballads of our early days | C |
To Phoebe of the Scottish glen | A |
- | |
There never was a fairer thing | D |
All Scotland's glens and mountains through | E |
The siller gowans of the Spring | D |
Besprent with pearls of mountain dew | E |
The maiden blush upon the brere | E |
Far distant from the haunts of men | A |
Are nothing half so sweet or dear | E |
As Phoebe of the Scottish glen | A |
- | |
How handsome is her naked foot | F |
Moist with the pearls of Summer dew | E |
The siller daisy's nothing to 't | E |
Nor hawthorn flowers so white to view | E |
She's sweeter than the blooming brere | E |
That blossoms far away from men | A |
No flower in Scotland's half so dear | E |
As Phoebe of the Scottish glen | A |
