Happy, Happy It Is To Be Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBDDEE FGHGIJKJEEHappy happy it is to be | A |
Where the greenwood hangs o'er the dark blue sea | A |
To roam in the moonbeams clear and still | B |
And dance with the elves | C |
Over dale and hill | B |
To taste their cups and with them roam | D |
The field for dewdrops and honeycomb | D |
Climb then and come as quick as you can | E |
And dwell with the fairies Elizabeth Ann | E |
- | |
Never never comes tear or sorrow | F |
In the mansions old where the fairies dwell | G |
But only the harping of their sweet harp strings | H |
And the lonesome stroke of a distant bell | G |
Where upon hills of thyme and heather | I |
The shepherd sits with his wandering sheep | J |
And the curlew wails and the skylark hovers | K |
Over the sand where the conies creep | J |
Climb then and come as quick as you can | E |
And dwell with the fairies Elizabeth Ann | E |
