The Market-girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD| Nobody took any notice of her as she stood on the causey kerb | A |
| All eager to sell her honey and apples and bunches of garden herb | A |
| And if she had offered to give her wares and herself with them too that day | B |
| I doubt if a soul would have cared to take a bargain so choice away | B |
| - | |
| But chancing to trace her sunburnt grace that morning as I passed nigh | C |
| I went and I said Poor maidy dear and will none of the people buy | C |
| And so it began and soon we knew what the end of it all must be | D |
| And I found that though no others had bid a prize had been won by me | D |
