Song. "swamps Of Wild Rush-beds" Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE EFEF GEGE HIHI JEJE| Swamps of wild rush beds and sloughs' squashy traces | A |
| Grounds of rough fallows with thistle and weed | B |
| Flats and low vallies of kingcups and daisies | C |
| Sweetest of subjects are ye for my reed | B |
| - | |
| Ye commons left free in the rude rags of nature | D |
| Ye brown heaths be clothed in furze as ye be | E |
| My wild eye in nature adores every feature | D |
| Ye are dear as this heart in my bosom to me | E |
| - | |
| O native endearments I would not forsake ye | E |
| I would not forsake ye for sweetest of scenes | F |
| For sweetest of gardens that nature could make me | E |
| I would not forsake ye dear vallies and greens | F |
| - | |
| Tho' nature ne'er dropt ye a cloud resting mountain | G |
| Nor waterfalls tumble their music so free | E |
| Had nature deny'd ye a bush tree or fountain | G |
| Ye still had been lov'd as an Eden by me | E |
| - | |
| And long my dear vallies long long may ye flourish | H |
| Though rush beds and thistles make most of your pride | I |
| May showers never fail the green's daisies to nourish | H |
| Nor suns dry the fountain that rills by its side | I |
| - | |
| Your skies may be gloomy and misty your mornings | J |
| Your flat swampy vallies unwholesome may be | E |
| Still refuse of nature without her adornings | J |
| Ye are dear as this heart in my bosom to me | E |
