The Gean-trees Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCDDC DEEDFFADDA GHHGIIADDDA| I mind when I dream at nicht | A |
| Whaur the bonnie Sidlaws stand | A |
| Wi' their feet on the dark'nin' land | A |
| An their heids i' the licht | A |
| An the thochts o' youth roll back | B |
| Like wreaths frae the hillside track | B |
| In the Vale o' Strathmore | C |
| And the autumn leaves are turnin' | D |
| And the flame o' the gean trees burnin' | D |
| Roond the white hoose door | C |
| - | |
| Aye me when spring cam' green | D |
| And May month decked the shaws | E |
| There was scarce a blink o' the wa's | E |
| For the flower o' the gean | D |
| But when the hills were blue | F |
| Ye could see them glintin' through | F |
| An the sun i' the lift | A |
| An the flower o' the gean trees fa'in' | D |
| Was like pairls frae the branches snawin' | D |
| In a lang white drift | A |
| - | |
| Thae trees are fair and gay | G |
| When May month's in her prime | H |
| But I'm thrawn wi' the blasts o' time | H |
| An my heid's white as they | G |
| But an auld man aye thinks lang | I |
| O' the hauchs he played amang | I |
| In his braw youth tide | A |
| An there's ane that aye keeps yearnin' | D |
| For a hoose whaur the leaves are turnin' | D |
| An the flame o' the gean tree burnin' | D |
| By the Sidlaws' side | A |
