In The Oak Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFCFCGHGHAIAI CJCJ| THE leaves and tassels of the oak | A |
| Were golden green with May | B |
| Pavilion whence forever broke | A |
| Some angel roundelay | C |
| A carol like a glory came | D |
| From topmost twig astir | E |
| Enkindled by a flying flame | D |
| The scarlet tanager | E |
| The tree was glad as Paradise | F |
| When eager soul on soul | C |
| The saints flock home There glistened twice | F |
| A wild throat oriole | C |
| And once the grosbeak's rosy breast | G |
| Poured its enchanted hymn | H |
| While sunny wing and jewel crest | G |
| Lit many a blissful limb | H |
| The whole wide world was in my oak | A |
| Whose catkins danced for mirth | I |
| Plumes gray as curling city smoke | A |
| Plumes brown as fresh plowed earth | I |
| Even heaven had graced our festival | C |
| For oft the loving eye | J |
| Would find coaxed by a wistful call | C |
| The bluebird's fleck of sky | J |
