The Piper Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCGCD| AGAIN I hear you piping for I know the tune so well | A |
| You rouse the heart to wander and be free | B |
| Tho' where you learned your music not the God of song can tell | A |
| For you pipe the open highway and the sea | B |
| O piper lightly footing lightly piping on your way | C |
| Tho' your music thrills and pierces far and near | D |
| I tell you you had better pipe to someone else to day | C |
| For you cannot pipe my fancy from my dear | D |
| - | |
| You sound the note of travel through the hamlet and the town | E |
| You would lure the holy angels from on high | F |
| And not a man can hear you but he throws the hammer down | E |
| And is off to see the countries ere he die | F |
| But now no more I wander now unchanging here I stay | C |
| By my love you find me safely sitting here | G |
| And pipe you ne'er so sweetly till you pipe the hills away | C |
| You can never pipe my fancy from my dear | D |
