Meg Goldlocks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDEE FFGH AAII AABA| YE'VE heard of Meg Goldlocks of Willington Dene | A |
| The stoniest damsel that ever was seen | A |
| Yet her beauty distress'd with its splendour the rest | B |
| Of the lasses for miles around Willington Dene | A |
| - | |
| Mary of Howdon with Robin would rove | C |
| But once to the Dene should his roguish feet move | D |
| A jealous of Meg's unmatched beauty her tongue | E |
| Was turned to a bell and a merry peal rung | E |
| - | |
| Blithe Betsy of Percy eyed Jim like a spy | F |
| Lest o'er to the Dene he should slip on the sly | F |
| Nay did she but dream it with heart like to break | G |
| She scowled when she met him for all the next week | H |
| - | |
| Sweet Nancy of Benton deemed Willie her own | A |
| Till he went to the Dene on an errand unknown | A |
| The errand to her was apparent as day | I |
| And the rose on her dimpled cheek withered away | I |
| - | |
| Thus matters went on around Willington Dene | A |
| Till East came a gallant and married the quean | A |
| That moment the rest of the lasses were blest | B |
| And their lovers allowed to tread Killington Dene | A |
