On The Garden-wall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKMNON| Oh once I walked a garden | A |
| In dreams 'Twas yellow grass | B |
| And many orange trees grew there | C |
| In sand as white as glass | B |
| The curving wide wall border | D |
| Was marble like the snow | E |
| I walked that wall a fairy prince | F |
| And pacing quaint and slow | E |
| Beside me were my pages | G |
| Two giant friendly birds | H |
| Half swan they were half peacock | I |
| They spake in courtier words | H |
| Their inner wings a chariot | J |
| Their outer wings for flight | K |
| They lifted me from dreamland | L |
| We bade those trees good night | K |
| Swiftly above the stars we rode | M |
| I looked below me soon | N |
| The white walled garden I had ruled | O |
| Was one lone flower the moon | N |
