Love In A Cottage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGHGIBJB EKLKJMDG NOJOEDCD| They may talk of love in a cottage | A |
| And bowers of trellised vine | B |
| Of nature bewitchingly simple | C |
| And milkmaids half divine | B |
| They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping | D |
| In the shade of a spreading tree | E |
| And a walk in the fields at morning | D |
| By the side of a footstep free | E |
| - | |
| But give me a sly flirtation | F |
| By the light of a chandelier | G |
| With music to play in the pauses | H |
| And nobody very near | G |
| Or a seat on a silken sofa | I |
| With a glass of pure old wine | B |
| And mamma too blind to discover | J |
| The small white hand in mine | B |
| - | |
| Your love in a cottage is hungry | E |
| Your vine is a nest for flies | K |
| Your milkmaid shocks the Graces | L |
| And simplicity talks of pies | K |
| You lie down to your shady slumber | J |
| And wake with a bug in your ear | M |
| And your damsel that walks in the morning | D |
| Is shod like a mountaineer | G |
| - | |
| True love is at home on a carpet | N |
| And mightily likes his ease | O |
| And true love has an eye for a dinner | J |
| And starves beneath shady trees | O |
| His wing is the fan of a lady | E |
| His foot's an invisible thing | D |
| And his arrow is tipped with a jewel | C |
| And shot from a silver string | D |
