Meg Merrilies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA ACAC AADA EFGF HIJI KAAA LMNMGM| Old Meg she was a Gipsy | A |
| And liv'd upon the Moors | A |
| Her bed it was the brown heath turf | B |
| And her house was out of doors | A |
| - | |
| Her apples were swart blackberries | A |
| Her currants pods o' broom | C |
| Her wine was dew of the wild white rose | A |
| Her book a churchyard tomb | C |
| - | |
| Her Brothers were the craggy hills | A |
| Her Sisters larchen trees | A |
| Alone with her great family | D |
| She liv'd as she did please | A |
| - | |
| No breakfast had she many a morn | E |
| No dinner many a noon | F |
| And 'stead of supper she would stare | G |
| Full hard against the Moon | F |
| - | |
| But every morn of woodbine fresh | H |
| She made her garlanding | I |
| And every night the dark glen Yew | J |
| She wove and she would sing | I |
| - | |
| And with her fingers old and brown | K |
| She plaited Mats o' Rushes | A |
| And gave them to the Cottagers | A |
| She met among the Bushes | A |
| - | |
| Old Meg was brave as Margaret Queen | L |
| And tall as Amazon | M |
| An old red blanket cloak she wore | N |
| A chip hat had she on | M |
| God rest her aged bones somewhere | G |
| She died full long agone | M |
