Stupidity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAC DEEDF GHHIJ KLLKM| Dearest forgive that with my clumsy touch | A |
| I broke and bruised your rose | B |
| I hardly could suppose | B |
| It were a thing so fragile that my clutch | A |
| Could kill it thus | C |
| - | |
| It stood so proudly up upon its stem | D |
| I knew no thought of fear | E |
| And coming very near | E |
| Fell overbalanced to your garment's hem | D |
| Tearing it down | F |
| - | |
| Now stooping I upgather one by one | G |
| The crimson petals all | H |
| Outspread about my fall | H |
| They hold their fragrance still a blood red cone | I |
| Of memory | J |
| - | |
| And with my words I carve a little jar | K |
| To keep their scented dust | L |
| Which opening you must | L |
| Breathe to your soul and breathing know me far | K |
| More grieved than you | M |
