Ploughman Singing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCBDEDEFF| Here morning in the ploughman's songs is met | A |
| Ere yet one footstep shows in all the sky | B |
| And twilight in the east a doubt as yet | A |
| Shows not her sleeve of grey to know her bye | B |
| Woke early I arose and thought that first | C |
| In winter time of all the world was I | B |
| The old owls might have hallooed if they durst | C |
| But joy just then was up and whistled bye | B |
| A merry tune which I had known full long | D |
| But could not to my memory wake it back | E |
| Until the ploughman changed it to the song | D |
| O happiness how simple is thy track | E |
| Tinged like the willow shoots the east's young brow | F |
| Glows red and finds thee singing at the plough | F |
