A Concert Of Birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEEEFGEEHHAAII E| The mounting lark day's herald got on wing | A |
| Bidding each bird choose out his bough and sing | A |
| The lofty treble sung the little wren | B |
| Robin the mean that best of all loves men | B |
| The nightingale the tenor and the thrush | C |
| The counter tenor sweetly in a bush | D |
| And that the music might be full in parts | E |
| Birds from the groves flew with right willing hearts | E |
| But as it seem'd they thought as do the swains | E |
| Which tune their pipes on sack'd Hibernia's plains | E |
| There should some droning part be therefore will'd | F |
| Some bird to fly into a neighb'ring field | G |
| In embassy unto the King of Bees | E |
| To aid his partners on the flowers and trees | E |
| Who condescending gladly flew along | H |
| To bear the bass to his well tuned song | H |
| The crow was willing they should be beholding | A |
| For his deep voice but being hoarse with scolding | A |
| He thus lends aid upon an oak doth climb | I |
| And nodding with his head so keepeth time | I |
| - | |
| From Britannia's Pastorals | E |
