Banks O' Doon, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDAEA AAFAGHGH| Ye banks and braes o' bonie Doon | A |
| How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair | B |
| How can ye chant ye little birds | C |
| And I sae weary fu' o' care | B |
| Thou'll break my heart thou warbling bird | D |
| That wantons thro' the flowering thorn | A |
| Thou minds me o' departed joys | E |
| Departed never to return | A |
| - | |
| Aft I rov'd by Bonie Doon | A |
| To see the rose and woodbine twine | A |
| And ilka bird sang o' its luve | F |
| And fondly sae did I o' mine | A |
| Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose | G |
| Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree | H |
| Any my fause luver staw my rose | G |
| But ah he left the thorn wi' me | H |
