The Name On The Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAAACADBDBDEDDD FDGHGBGGGGGIG| I saw a name carved on a tree | A |
| 'Julia' | B |
| A simpler name there could not be | A |
| Julia | B |
| But seeing it I seemed to see | A |
| A Devon garden pleasantly | A |
| About a parsonage the bee | A |
| Made drowsy sweet where rosemary | A |
| And pink and phlox and peony | A |
| Bowed down to one | C |
| Whom Herrick made to bloom in Poetry | A |
| A moment there I saw her stand | D |
| Julia | B |
| A gillyflower in her hand | D |
| Julia | B |
| And then kind faced and big and bland | D |
| As raised by some magician's wand | E |
| Herrick himself passed by sun tanned | D |
| And smiling and the quiet land | D |
| Seemed to take on and understand | D |
| A dream long dreamed | F |
| And for the lives of two some gladness planned | D |
| And then I seemed to hear a sigh | G |
| 'Julia ' | H |
| And someone softly walking nigh | G |
| Julia | B |
| The leaves shook and a butterfly | G |
| Trailed past and through the sleepy sky | G |
| A bird flew crying strange its cry | G |
| Then suddenly before my eye | G |
| Two lovers strolled They knew not why | G |
| I looked amazed | I |
| But I had seen old ghosts of long dead loves go by | G |
