Home Thoughts, From Abroad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EEFGFGGGHHIG| Oh to be in England | A |
| Now that April's there | B |
| And whoever wakes in England | A |
| Sees some morning unaware | B |
| That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf | C |
| Round the elm tree bole are in tiny leaf | C |
| While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough | D |
| In England now | D |
| - | |
| And after April when May follows | E |
| And the whitethroat builds and all the swallows | E |
| Hark where my blossomed pear tree in the hedge | F |
| Leans to the field and scatters on the clover | G |
| Blossoms and dewdrops at the bent spray's edge | F |
| That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over | G |
| Lest you should think he never could recapture | G |
| The first fine careless rapture | G |
| And though the fields look rough with hoary dew | H |
| All will be gay when noontide wakes anew | H |
| The buttercups the little children's dower | I |
| Far brighter than this gaudy melon flower | G |
