Structure of Poem 2 stanzas 16 lines End rhyme Ballad Some day, when trees have shed their leaves      And against the morning’s white The shivering birds beneath the eaves      Have sheltered for the night, We’ll turn our faces southward, love,      Toward the summer isle Where bamboos spire the shafted grove      And wide-mouthed orchids smile. And we will seek the quiet hill      Where towers the cotton tree, And leaps the laughing crystal rill,      And works the droning bee. And we will build a cottage there      Beside an open glade, With black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near,      And ferns that never fade. 2 stanzas 16 lines End rhyme Ballad
