Of An Orchard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGGE HIJK

Good is an Orchard the Saint saithA
To meditate on life and deathA
With a cool well a hive of beesB
A hermit's grot below the treesB
-
Good is an Orchard very goodC
Though one should wear no monkish hoodC
Right good when Spring awakes her fluteD
And good in yellowing time of fruitD
-
Very good in the grass to lieE
And see the network 'gainst the skyE
A living lace of blue and greenF
And boughs that let the gold betweenF
-
The bees are types of souls that dwellG
With honey in a quiet cellG
The ripe fruit figures goldenlyG
The soul's perfection in God's eyeE
-
Prayer and praise in a country homeH
Honey and fruit a man might comeI
Fed on such meats to walk abroadJ
And in his Orchard talk with GodK
