Petals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEFGHIGJI| Life is a stream | A |
| On which we strew | B |
| Petal by petal the flower of our heart | C |
| The end lost in dream | A |
| They float past our view | B |
| We only watch their glad early start | C |
| - | |
| Freighted with hope | D |
| Crimsoned with joy | E |
| We scatter the leaves of our opening rose | F |
| Their widening scope | D |
| Their distant employ | E |
| We never shall know And the stream as it flows | F |
| Sweeps them away | G |
| Each one is gone | H |
| Ever beyond into infinite ways | I |
| We alone stay | G |
| While years hurry on | J |
| The flower fared forth though its fragrance still stays | I |
