The Robin Redbreast. (from The Villager's Verse-book.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI| Poor Robin sits and sings alone | A |
| When showers of driving sleet | B |
| By the cold winds of winter blown | A |
| The cottage casement beat | B |
| - | |
| Come let him share our chimney nook | C |
| And dry his dripping wing | D |
| See little Mary shuts her book | C |
| And cries Poor Robin sing | D |
| - | |
| Methinks I hear his faint reply | E |
| When cowslips deck the plain | F |
| The lark shall carol in the sky | E |
| And I shall sing again | G |
| - | |
| But in the cold and wintry day | H |
| To you I owe a debt | I |
| That in the sunshine of the May | H |
| I never can forget | I |
