Tampa Robins Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAA CCDDAD EEFFA AABBA G| The robin laughed in the orange tree | A |
| Ho windy North a fig for thee | A |
| While breasts are red and wings are bold | B |
| And green trees wave us globes of gold | B |
| Time's scythe shall reap but bliss for me | A |
| Sunlight song and the orange tree | A |
| - | |
| Burn golden globes in leafy sky | C |
| My orange planets crimson I | C |
| Will shine and shoot among the spheres | D |
| Blithe meteor that no mortal fears | D |
| And thrid the heavenly orange tree | A |
| With orbits bright of minstrelsy | D |
| - | |
| If that I hate wild winter's spite | E |
| The gibbet trees the world in white | E |
| The sky but gray wind over a grave | F |
| Why should I ache the season's slave | F |
| I'll sing from the top of the orange tree | A |
| 'Gramercy winter's tyranny ' | - |
| - | |
| I'll south with the sun and keep my clime | A |
| My wing is king of the summer time | A |
| My breast to the sun his torch shall hold | B |
| And I'll call down through the green and gold | B |
| 'Time take thy scythe reap bliss for me | A |
| Bestir thee under the orange tree ' | - |
