Laburnums Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DA AB EA AB

OVER old walls the LaburnumsA
hang cones of fireB
Laburnums that grow out of oldC
mould in old gardensA
-
Old maids and old men who have savings or pensions haveD
Shuttered themselves in the pales of old gardensA
-
The gardens grow wild out of their mould the LaburnumsA
Draw cones of fireB
-
And we who've no lindens no palms no cedars of LebanonE
Rejoice you have gardens with mould old men and old maidsA
-
The bare and the dusty streets have now the LaburnumsA
Have now cones of fireB
