In The Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAB CCDCD EEDED FFDFD GGHGGG DDIDI JJKJK| Here the sunshine filtering down | A |
| Through leaves of emerald dun and brown | A |
| Is green instead of golden | B |
| And the hum and roar of the distant town | A |
| In an endless hush is holden | B |
| - | |
| Twinkling bright through the shadowing limes | C |
| The brook rains a sparkle of silver rhymes | C |
| On the dragon fly its neighbour | D |
| It pays no duty in dollars and dimes | C |
| For its work is all love labour | D |
| - | |
| Here are no spindles nor wheels to be whirled | E |
| No forges nor looms from the outside world | E |
| Stunning the ear with clamour | D |
| You hear but the whisper of leaves unfurled | E |
| And the tap of the woodpecker's hammer | D |
| - | |
| Here are no books to be written or read | F |
| But cushions of softest moss instead | F |
| Without a care to cumber | D |
| And fern leaf fans for the weary head | F |
| Soothing the soul to slumber | D |
| - | |
| Oh come from the dusty haunts of trade | G |
| From the desk the ledger the loom the spade | G |
| There is neither toil nor payment | H |
| Forget for once in this peaceful shade | G |
| The sordid ways in which dollars are made | G |
| And food and drink and raiment | G |
| - | |
| Consider the lilies arrayed so fair | D |
| In robes that an eastern king might wear | D |
| Though never an eye may heed them | I |
| And the sparrows of whom His hand takes care | D |
| For our Father in Heaven feeds them | I |
| - | |
| His rainbow spans the heavenly blue | J |
| His eye takes note of the drops of dew | J |
| And the sunset's golden arrows | K |
| And shall He not take thought of you | J |
| O man as well as the sparrows | K |
