Le Jardin Des Tuileries Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG ICCI| This winter air is keen and cold | A |
| And keen and cold this winter sun | B |
| But round my chair the children run | B |
| Like little things of dancing gold | A |
| - | |
| Sometimes about the painted kiosk | C |
| The mimic soldiers strut and stride | D |
| Sometimes the blue eyed brigands hide | D |
| In the bleak tangles of the bosk | C |
| - | |
| And sometimes while the old nurse cons | E |
| Her book they steal across the square | F |
| And launch their paper navies where | F |
| Huge Triton writhes in greenish bronze | E |
| - | |
| And now in mimic flight they flee | G |
| And now they rush a boisterous band | H |
| And tiny hand on tiny hand | H |
| Climb up the black and leafless tree | G |
| - | |
| Ah cruel tree if I were you | I |
| And children climbed me for their sake | C |
| Though it be winter I would break | C |
| Into spring blossoms white and blue | I |
