Young Jenny Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD AECEAA FGFGAA HIHIAA| The cockchafer hums down the rut rifted lane | A |
| Where the wild roses hang and the woodbines entwine | B |
| And the shrill squeaking bat makes his circles again | C |
| Round the side of the tavern close by the sign | B |
| The sun is gone down like a wearisome queen | D |
| In curtains the richest that ever were seen | D |
| - | |
| The dew falls on flowers in a mist of small rain | A |
| And beating the hedges low fly the barn owls | E |
| The moon with her horns is just peeping again | C |
| And deep in the forest the dog badger howls | E |
| In best bib and tucker then wanders my Jane | A |
| By the side of the woodbines which grow in the lane | A |
| - | |
| On a sweet eventide I walk by her side | F |
| In green hoods the daisies have shut up their eyes | G |
| Young Jenny is handsome without any pride | F |
| Her eyes O how bright have the hue of the skies | G |
| O 'tis pleasant to walk by the side of my Jane | A |
| At the close of the day down the mossy green lane | A |
| - | |
| We stand by the brook by the gate and the stile | H |
| While the even star hangs out his lamp in the sky | I |
| And on her calm face dwells a sweet sunny smile | H |
| While her soul fondly speaks through the light of her eye | I |
| Sweet are the moments while waiting for Jane | A |
| 'T is her footsteps I hear coming down the green lane | A |
