Birds In May Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIJKKLK J| As woo'd by May's delights I have been borne | A |
| To take the kind air of a wistful morn | A |
| Near Tavy's voiceful stream to whom I owe | B |
| More strains than from my pipe can ever flow | B |
| Here have I heard a sweet bird never lin | C |
| To chide the river for his clam'rous din | C |
| There seem'd another in his song to tell | D |
| That what the fair stream did he liked well | D |
| And going further heard another too | E |
| All varying still in what the others do | E |
| A little thence a fourth with little pain | F |
| Conn'd all their lessons and them sung again | G |
| So numberless the songsters are that sing | H |
| In the sweet groves of the too careless spring | H |
| That I no sooner could the hearing lose | I |
| Of one of them but straight another rose | J |
| And perching deftly on a quaking spray | K |
| Nigh tir'd herself to make her hearer stay | K |
| L | |
| Shrill as a thrush upon a morn of May | K |
| - | |
| From Britannia's Pastorals | J |
