The Crowns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCADD DDABCEB FDGHIJB| Cherry and pear are white | A |
| Their snows lie sprinkled on the land like light | A |
| On darkness shed | B |
| Far off and near | C |
| The orchards toss their crowns of delight | A |
| And the sun casts down | D |
| Another shining crown | D |
| - | |
| The wind tears and throws down | D |
| Petal by petal the crown | D |
| Of cherry and pear till the earth is white | A |
| And all the brightness is shed | B |
| In the orchards far off and near | C |
| That tossed by the road and under the green hill | E |
| And the wind is fled | B |
| - | |
| Far far off the wind | F |
| Has shaken down | D |
| A brightness that was as the brightness of cherry or pear | G |
| When the orchards shine in the sun | H |
| Oh there is no more fairness | I |
| Since this rareness | J |
| The radiant blossom of English earth is dead | B |
