The Meadow Lark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDEFFCC GBHHBIIJBBCC| Though the winds be dank | A |
| And the sky be sober | B |
| And the grieving Day | C |
| In a mantle gray | C |
| Hath let her waiting maiden robe her | B |
| All the fields along | D |
| I can hear the song | D |
| Of the meadow lark | E |
| As she flits and flutters | F |
| And laughs at the thunder when it mutters | F |
| O happy bird of heart most gay | C |
| To sing when skies are gray | C |
| - | |
| When the clouds are full | G |
| And the tempest master | B |
| Lets the loud winds sweep | H |
| From his bosom deep | H |
| Like heralds of some dire disaster | B |
| Then the heart alone | I |
| To itself makes moan | I |
| And the songs come slow | J |
| While the tears fall fleeter | B |
| And silence than song by far seems sweeter | B |
| Oh few are they along the way | C |
| Who sing when skies are gray | C |
