Davie Gellatley's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBDB EBEB

Young men will love thee more fair and more fastA
Heard ye so merry the little bird singB
Old men's love the longest will lastA
And the throstle cock's head is under his wingB
-
-
The young man's wrath is like light straw on fireC
Heard ye so merry the little bird singB
But like red hot steel is the old man's ireD
And the throstle cock's head is under his wingB
-
-
The young man will brawl at the evening boardE
Heard ye so merry the little bird singB
But the old man will draw at the dawning the swordE
And the throstle cock's head is under his wingB

Sir Walter Scott
