The Apology Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJK

Think me not unkind and rudeA
That I walk alone in grove and glenB
I go to the god of the woodC
To fetch his word to menB
-
Tax not my sloth that ID
Fold my arms beside the brookE
Each cloud that floated in the skyD
Writes a letter in my bookE
-
Chide me not laborious bandF
For the idle flowers I broughtG
Every aster in my handF
Goes home loaded with a thoughtG
-
There was never mysteryH
But 'tis figured in the flowersI
Was never secret historyH
But birds tell it in the bowersI
-
One harvest from thy fieldJ
Homeward brought the oxen strongK
A second crop thine acres yieldJ
Which I gather in a songK
