Too Low Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHCC IJIJKK| My house is thatched with violet leaves | A |
| And paved with daisies fine | B |
| Scarlet berries droop over its eaves | A |
| Tall grasses round it shine | B |
| With softest down I have lined my nest | C |
| Securely now will I sit and rest | C |
| - | |
| When their wings break from their silvery shell | D |
| Touched by my tender care | E |
| Here shall my little ones safely dwell | D |
| Little ones soft and fair | E |
| Some summer morn they shall try their wings | F |
| While their father sits by my side and sings | F |

| Hard by just over the streamlet's edge | G |
| A great rock towered in might | H |
| High up half hidden in moss and sedge | G |
| Were safe little nooks and bright | H |
| Ah well for the bird with her tender breast | C |
| Had she flown to the rock to build her nest | C |
| - | |
| Poor bird she built her nest too low | I |
| Alas for the bird alas | J |
| That she chose that spot to her woe | I |
| In the low dewy grass | J |
| For the reaper came with his gleaming blade | K |
| Alas for love in the violet shade | K |
