The Thrush's Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Within a thick and spreading hawthorn bush | A |
| That overhung a molehill large and round | B |
| I heard from morn to morn a merry thrush | C |
| Sing hymns to sunrise and I drank the sound | B |
| With joy and often an intruding guest | D |
| I watched her secret toil from day to day | E |
| How true she warped the moss to form a nest | D |
| And modelled it within with wood and clay | E |
| And by and by like heath bells gilt with dew | F |
| There lay her shining eggs as bright as flowers | G |
| Ink spotted over shells of greeny blue | F |
| And there I witnessed in the sunny hours | G |
| A brood of nature's minstrels chirp and fly | H |
| Glad as the sunshine and the laughing sky | H |
