The Gladness Of Nature. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| Is this a time to be cloudy and sad | A |
| When our mother Nature laughs around | B |
| When even the deep blue heavens look glad | A |
| And gladness breathes from the blossoming ground | B |
| - | |
| There are notes of joy from the hang bird and wren | C |
| And the gossip of swallows through all the sky | D |
| The ground squirrel gayly chirps by his den | C |
| And the wilding bee hums merrily by | D |
| - | |
| The clouds are at play in the azure space | E |
| And their shadows at play on the bright green vale | F |
| And here they stretch to the frolic chase | E |
| And there they roll on the easy gale | F |
| - | |
| There's a dance of leaves in that aspen bower | G |
| There's a titter of winds in that beechen tree | H |
| There's a smile on the fruit and a smile on the flower | G |
| And a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea | H |
| - | |
| And look at the broad faced sun how he smiles | I |
| On the dewy earth that smiles in his ray | J |
| On the leaping waters and gay young isles | I |
| Ay look and he'll smile thy gloom away | J |
