The Poplars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEFE GHGHIH JKLKMK| My poplars are like ladies trim | A |
| Each conscious of her own estate | B |
| In costume somewhat over prim | A |
| In manner cordially sedate | B |
| Like two old neighbours met to chat | C |
| Beside my garden gate | B |
| - | |
| My stately old aristocrats | D |
| I fancy still their talk must be | E |
| Of rose conserves and Persian cats | D |
| And lavender and Indian tea | E |
| I wonder sometimes as I pass | F |
| If they approve of me | E |
| - | |
| I give them greeting night and morn | G |
| I like to think they answer too | H |
| With that benign assurance born | G |
| When youth gives age the reverence due | H |
| And bend their wise heads as I go | I |
| As courteous ladies do | H |
| - | |
| Long may you stand before my door | J |
| Oh kindly neighbours garbed in green | K |
| And bend with rustling welcome o'er | L |
| The many friends who pass between | K |
| And where the little children play | M |
| Look down with gracious mien | K |
