The Maple Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABACCACACDD| The Maple with its tassell flowers of green | A |
| That turns to red a stag horn shap egrave d seed | B |
| Just spreading out its scallopped leaves is seen | A |
| Of yellowish hue yet beautifully green | A |
| Bark ribb'd like corderoy in seamy screed | B |
| That farther up the stem is smoother seen | A |
| Where the white hemlock with white umbel flowers | C |
| Up each spread stoven to the branches towers | C |
| And mossy round the stoven spread dark green | A |
| And blotched leaved orchis and the blue bell flowers | C |
| Thickly they grow and neath the leaves are seen | A |
| I love to see them gemm'd with morning hours | C |
| I love the lone green places where they be | D |
| And the sweet clothing of the Maple tree | D |
