The Cottage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JKKK| The house my earthly parent left | A |
| My heavenly parent still throws down | B |
| For 'tis of air and sun bereft | A |
| Nor stars its roof with beauty crown | B |
| - | |
| He gave it me yet gave it not | C |
| As one whose gifts are wise and good | D |
| 'Twas but a poor and clay built cot | C |
| And for a time the storms withstood | D |
| - | |
| But lengthening years and frequent rain | E |
| O'ercame its strength it tottered fell | F |
| And left me homeless here again | G |
| And where to go I could not tell | F |
| - | |
| But soon the light and open air | H |
| Received me as a wandering child | I |
| And I soon thought their house more fair | H |
| And all my grief their love beguiled | I |
| - | |
| Mine was the grove the pleasant field | J |
| Where dwelt the flowers I daily trod | K |
| And there beside them too I kneeled | K |
| And called their friend my friend and God | K |
