The Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDECECFF| I love thee when thy swelling buds appear | A |
| And one by one their tender leaves unfold | B |
| As if they knew that warmer suns were near | A |
| Nor longer sought to hide from winter's cold | B |
| And when with darker growth thy leaves are seen | C |
| To veil from view the early robin's nest | D |
| I love to lie beneath thy waving skreen | C |
| With limbs by summer's heat and toil opprest | D |
| And when the autumn winds have stript thee bare | E |
| And round thee lies the smooth untrodden snow | C |
| When nought is thine that made thee once so fair | E |
| I love to watch thy shadowy form below | C |
| And through thy leafless arms to look above | F |
| On stars that brighter beam when most we need their love | F |
