Les Roses De Sadi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB BBB| This morning I vowed I would bring thee my Roses | A |
| They were thrust in the band that my bodice encloses | A |
| But the breast knots were broken the Roses went free | B |
| The breast knots were broken the Roses together | C |
| Floated forth on the wings of the wind and the weather | C |
| And they drifted afar down the streams of the sea | B |
| - | |
| And the sea was as red as when sunset uncloses | B |
| But my raiment is sweet from the scent of the Roses | B |
| Thou shalt know Love how fragrant a memory can be | B |
