Baloo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG CBCB HIHI AJAJ| BALOO my sweet baby the blossom | A |
| I dandle't till weary and sigh | B |
| With not a bare drop in my bosom | A |
| To silence its pitiful cry | B |
| - | |
| The red moon above us right rarely | C |
| I lay on the brink of the burn | D |
| And drank in the words which so early | C |
| Have brought me to anguish and scorn | E |
| - | |
| And had he but thought of the trouble | F |
| And had he but thought on the pain | G |
| Tho' green in the blade with the stubble | F |
| I'm fated to bleach on the plain | G |
| - | |
| Mid all our wooed maidens so many | C |
| The bonny bright lily was I | B |
| But now plucked and tainted like any | C |
| Vile weed on the footway I lie | B |
| - | |
| But let anguish thus my heart rend and | H |
| The briny tear thus my cheek lave | I |
| The longest lane yet has an end and | H |
| The weary sleep sound in the grave | I |
| - | |
| Baloo my sweet baby the blossom | A |
| Ah hush ere his life glass is run | J |
| The false one shall find in his bosom | A |
| A pang for the deed he has done | J |
