A Cuckoo Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDDDEECCFFGG| Crowns are for kings to wear sad crowns of gold | A |
| Over tired heads that ache world cares untold | A |
| Not on thy happy brows sweet bird of summer | B |
| Set we such crowns to day thou Spring's new comer | B |
| Take from us rather thou these our wild posies | C |
| April's and May's we bring June's with its roses | C |
| Nay and love's Cuckoo flowers O child of glory | D |
| Cuckoos thine own birds are these be thy dowry | D |
| Eve of our heart's shut field need is we grieve thee | D |
| Gone to a world more sweet where we must leave thee | D |
| Russet clad nightingales tired of our chaunting | E |
| Out in the dark we weep our Queen bird wanting | E |
| Such is the fate of birds Soon as the Spring comes | C |
| Vagrant they flit and fly Lo 'tis their King comes | C |
| Endeth our night plaint only when through the wild wood | F |
| New born the day trips in laughs as a child would | F |
| O then we too will laugh join in the gay chime | G |
| Run to thy marriage bells birds of the day time | G |
