Finery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB C DD EEFF GGHH AAII| IN an elegant frock trimm'd with beautiful lace | A |
| And hair nicely curl'd hanging over her face | A |
| Young Fanny went out to the house of a friend | B |
| With a large little party the evening to spend | B |
| - | |
| 'Ah how they will all be delighted I guess | C |
| And stare with surprise at my handsome new dress ' | - |
| Thus said the vain girl and her little heart beat | D |
| Impatient the happy young party to meet | D |
| - | |
| But alas they were all too intent on their play | E |
| To observe the fine clothes of this lady so gay | E |
| And thus all her trouble quite lost its design | F |
| For they saw she was proud but forgot she was fine | F |
| - | |
| 'Twas Lucy though only in simple white clad | G |
| Nor trimmings nor laces nor jewels she had | G |
| Whose cheerful good nature delighted them more | H |
| Than Fanny and all the fine garments she wore | H |
| - | |
| 'Tis better to have a sweet smile on one's face | A |
| Than to wear a fine frock with an elegant lace | A |
| For the good natured girl is loved best in the main | I |
| If her dress is but decent though ever so plain | I |
