The Three Cherry Trees Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBB DEFEE GHIHH JBKBB| There were three cherry trees once | A |
| Grew in a garden all shady | B |
| And there for delight of so gladsome a sight | C |
| Walked a most beautiful lady | B |
| Dreamed a most beautiful lady | B |
| - | |
| Birds in those branches did sing | D |
| Blackbird and throstle and linnet | E |
| But she walking there was by far the most fair | F |
| Lovelier than all else within it | E |
| Blackbird and throstle and linnet | E |
| - | |
| But blossoms to berries do come | G |
| All hanging on stalks light and slender | H |
| And one long summer's day charmed that lady away | I |
| With vows sweet and merry and tender | H |
| A lover with voice low and tender | H |
| - | |
| Moss and lichen the green branches deck | J |
| Weeds nod in its paths green and shady | B |
| Yet a light footstep seems there to wander in dreams | K |
| The ghost of that beautiful lady | B |
| That happy and beautiful lady | B |
