The Gipsy Lass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AACCA AADDA AAEEA| Just like the berry brown is my bonny lassie O | A |
| And in the smoky camp lives my bonny lassie O | A |
| Where the scented woodbine weaves | B |
| Round the white thorn's glossy leaves | B |
| The sweetest maid on earth is my gipsy lassie O | A |
| - | |
| The brook it runs so clear by my bonny lassie O | A |
| And the blackbird singeth near my bonny lassie O | A |
| And there the wild briar rose | C |
| Wrinkles the clear stream as it flows | C |
| By the smoky camp of my bonny lassie O | A |
| - | |
| The groundlark singeth high o'er my bonny lassie O | A |
| The nightingale lives nigh my gipsy lassie O | A |
| They're with her all the year | D |
| By the brook that runs so clear | D |
| And there's none in all the world like my gipsy lassie O | A |
| - | |
| With a bosom white as snow is my gipsy lassie O | A |
| With a foot like to the roe is my bonny lassie O | A |
| Like the sweet birds she will sing | E |
| While echo it will ring | E |
| Sure there's none in the world like my bonny lassie O | A |
