A Hill O' Lights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF AAGG BBHH| Turn from Kerry crossroads and leave the wooded dells | A |
| Take the mountain path and find where Tip O'Leary dwells | A |
| Tip O'Leary is the name I sing it all day long | B |
| And every bird whose heart is wise will have it for a song | B |
| - | |
| Tip O'Leary keeps the lights of many lamps aglow | C |
| Little matters it to him the seasons come or go | C |
| Sure if spring is in the air his hedges are abloom | D |
| And fairy buds like candles shine across his garden room | D |
| - | |
| Roses in the June days are light the miles around | E |
| Tapers of the fuchsias move along the August ground | E |
| Sumachs light the flaming torches by October's grave | F |
| And like the campfires on the hills the oaks and maples wave | F |
| - | |
| All the lights but only one die out when summer goes | A |
| One that Tip O'Leary keeps is brighter than the rose | A |
| Through the window comes the bloom on any winter night | G |
| And every sense goes wild to it soft and sweet and bright | G |
| - | |
| Lamps are fair that have the light from flowers all day long | B |
| When the birds are here and sing the Tip O'Leary song | B |
| But a winter window is the fairest rose of all | H |
| When Tip O'Leary's hearth is lit and lamps upon the wall | H |
