Irish Peasant Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDBB| I try to knead and spin but my life is low the while | A |
| Oh I long to be alone and walk abroad a mile | A |
| Yet if I walk alone and think of naught at all | B |
| Why from me that's young should the wild tears fall | B |
| - | |
| The shower sodden earth the earth colored streams | C |
| They breathe on me awake and moan to me in dreams | C |
| And yonder ivy fondling the broke castle wall | B |
| It pulls upon my heart till the wild tears fall | B |
| - | |
| The cabin door looks down a furze lighted hill | D |
| And far as Leighlin Cross the fields are green and still | D |
| But once I hear the blackbird in Leighlin hedges call | B |
| The foolishness is on me and the wild tears fall | B |
