The Acorn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| The seed has started who can stay it see | A |
| The leaves are sprouting high above the ground | B |
| Already o'er the flowers its head the tree | A |
| That rose beside it and that on it frowned | B |
| Behold is but a small bush by its side | C |
| Still on it cannot stop its branches spread | D |
| It looks o'er all the earth in giant pride | C |
| The nations find upon its limbs their bread | D |
| Its boughs their millions shelter from the heat | E |
| Beneath its shade see kindreds tongues and all | F |
| That the wide world contains they all retreat | E |
| Beneath the shelter of that acorn small | F |
| That late thou flung away 'twas the best gift | G |
| That heaven e'er gave its head the low shall lift | G |
