Sonnet Lxxi. To The Poppy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACDEFGFGHH| While Summer Roses all their glory yield | A |
| To crown the Votary of Love and Joy | B |
| Misfortune's Victim hails with many a sigh | C |
| Thee scarlet POPPY of the pathless field | A |
| Gaudy yet wild and lone no leaf to shield | A |
| Thy flaccid vest that as the gale blows high | C |
| Flaps and alternate folds around thy head | D |
| So stands in the long grass a love craz'd Maid | E |
| Smiling aghast while stream to every wind | F |
| Her gairish ribbons smear'd with dust and rain | G |
| But brain sick visions cheat her tortur'd mind | F |
| And bring false peace Thus lulling grief and pain | G |
| Kind dreams oblivious from thy juice proceed | H |
| THOU FLIMSY SHEWY MELANCHOLY WEED | H |
