The Nightingale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDEDEDFGFF| This is the month the nightingale clod brown | A |
| Is heard among the woodland shady boughs | B |
| This is the time when in the vale grass grown | C |
| The maiden hears at eve her lover's vows | B |
| What time the blue mist round the patient cows | B |
| Dim rises from the grass and half conceals | D |
| Their dappled hides I hear the nightingale | E |
| That from the little blackthorn spinney steals | D |
| To the old hazel hedge that skirts the vale | E |
| And still unseen sings sweet The ploughman feels | D |
| The thrilling music as he goes along | F |
| And imitates and listens while the fields | G |
| Lose all their paths in dusk to lead him wrong | F |
| Still sings the nightingale her soft melodious song | F |
