I Saw In Louisiana A Live Oak Growing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRH| I SAW in Louisiana a live oak growing | A |
| All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches | B |
| Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark | C |
| green | D |
| And its look rude unbending lusty made me think of myself | E |
| But I wonder'd how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone | F |
| there without its friend its lover near for I knew I could | G |
| not | H |
| And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it and | I |
| twined around it a little moss | J |
| And brought it away and I have placed it in sight in my room | K |
| It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends | L |
| For I believe lately I think of little else than of them | M |
| Yet it remains to me a curious token it makes me think of manly | N |
| love | O |
| For all that and though the live oak glistens there in Louisiana | P |
| solitary in a wide flat space | Q |
| Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near | R |
| I know very well I could not | H |
