An Autumn-blooming Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BBBB CBCB DEDE| I found and plucked an autumn blooming rose | A |
| And shut my eyes and scented all its savour | B |
| When lo as in the month the blackthorn blows | A |
| Lambs 'gan to bleat and merle and lark to quaver | B |
| - | |
| Flower of my life inestimably dear | B |
| Now that its calendar wanes sere and sober | B |
| To me your freshness turning back the year | B |
| Makes that seem April others call October | B |
| - | |
| With me 'tis Autumn and with you 'tis Spring | C |
| But Love hath brought these seasons sweet together | B |
| Within your leafy life I sit and sing | C |
| And you with me share wealth of harvest weather | B |
| - | |
| Thus all things we exchange and nothing lose | D |
| Take you life's wisdom lend to me life's sweetness | E |
| Your vernal voice shall wed my mellow muse | D |
| And song give youth and youth give song completeness | E |
