Julie Claire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE FGHGAIJI KLHLMNOP HHIHQHRH| Oh Julie Claire was very fair | A |
| Yet generous as well | B |
| And many a lad of metal had | C |
| A saucy tale to tell | B |
| Of sultry squeeze beneath the trees | D |
| Or hugging in the hay | E |
| Of love her share had Julie Claire | A |
| When life was lush and gay | E |
| - | |
| And then the village wealth to pillage | F |
| Came the Teuton horde | G |
| The haughty Huns with mighty guns | H |
| And clattering of sword | G |
| And Julie Claire had honey hair | A |
| With eyes of soft azure | I |
| So she became the favoured flame | J |
| Of the Kommandatur | I |
| - | |
| But when at last the plague was past | K |
| The bloody war well won | L |
| We clipped the locks of every dox | H |
| Who dallied with the Hun | L |
| Each wench with scorn was duly shorn | M |
| Our Marie the shears would weld | N |
| And Julie's head with ringlets shed | O |
| Was like a turnip peeled | P |
| - | |
| But of these days of wanton ways | H |
| No more the village talks | H |
| For Julie Claire has wed the Maire | I |
| Who clipped her golden locks | H |
| Nay do not try to me I | Q |
| Must suffer for my sins | H |
| For all agree the Marie must be | R |
| The father of her twins | H |
