When The Cuckoo Sings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLK| In summer when the Cuckoo sings | A |
| And clouds like greater moons can shine | B |
| When every leafy tree doth hold | C |
| A loving heart that beats with mine | B |
| Now when the Brook has cresses green | D |
| As well as stones to check his pace | E |
| And if the Owl appears he's forced | F |
| By small birds to some hiding place | E |
| Then like red Robin in the spring | G |
| I shun those haunts where men are found | H |
| My house holds little joy until | I |
| Leaves fall and birds can make no sound | H |
| Let none invade that wilderness | J |
| Into whose dark green depths I go | K |
| Save some fine lady all in white | L |
| Comes like a pillar of pure snow | K |
