The Yellowhammer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDDEFGE| When shall I see the white thorn leaves agen | A |
| And yellowhammers gathering the dry bents | B |
| By the dyke side on stilly moor or fen | A |
| Feathered with love and nature's good intents | B |
| Rude is the tent this architect invents | B |
| Rural the place with cart ruts by dyke side | C |
| Dead grass horse hair and downy headed bents | B |
| Tied to dead thistles she doth well provide | C |
| Close to a hill of ants where cowslips bloom | D |
| And shed oer meadows far their sweet perfume | D |
| In early spring when winds blow chilly cold | E |
| The yellowhammer trailing grass will come | F |
| To fix a place and choose an early home | G |
| With yellow breast and head of solid gold | E |
