Finch & Frog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFF ADG DDDHH CCCCThe finch trills in the apple tree | A |
His Tiriliree | A |
A frog climbs slowly up to him | B |
Up to the treetop's leafy rim | B |
And puffs right up and croaks quot Hallooo | C |
Ol' chum see I c'n do it too quot | D |
- | |
And as the bird his song of spring | E |
So sweetly to the world doth sing | E |
The frog chimes in with sassy tones | F |
And interjects his bassy drones | F |
- | |
The finch exclaims quot O Joy hurray | A |
I'll fly away quot | D |
And springs into the azure sky | G |
- | |
- | |
quot Hah quot cries the frog quot Well so kin I quot | D |
He makes a most ungainly bound | D |
And splats onto the bare hard ground | D |
He's pancake flat and that's no joke | H |
He's croaked his very final croak | H |
- | |
If someone climbs laboriously | C |
Into the branches of a tree | C |
And thinks himself a bird to be | C |
Wrong is he | C |
