The Stinging Nettle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD

The stinging nettle onlyA
Will still be found to standB
The numberless the lonelyA
The thronger of the landB
The leaf that hurts the handB
-
That thrives come sun come showersC
Blow east blow west it springsD
It peoples towns and towersC
Above the courts of KingsD
And touch it and it stingsD
