Three Flower Petals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HDHDIDID| When saw I yesterday walking apart | A |
| In a leafy place where the cattle wait | B |
| Something to keep for a charm in my heart | A |
| A little sweet girl in a garden gate | B |
| Laughing she lay in the gold sun's might | C |
| And held for a target to shelter her | D |
| In her little soft fingers round and white | C |
| The gold rimmed face of a sunflower | D |
| - | |
| Laughing she lay on the stone that stands | E |
| For a rough hewn step in that sunny place | F |
| And her yellow hair hung down to her hands | E |
| Shadowing over her dimpled face | F |
| Her eyes like the blue of the sky made dim | G |
| With the might of the sun that looked at her | D |
| Shone laughing over the serried rim | G |
| Golden set of the sunflower | D |
| - | |
| Laughing for token she gave to me | H |
| Three petals out of the sunflower | D |
| When the petals are withered and gone shall be | H |
| Three verses of mine for praise of her | D |
| That a tender dream of her face may rise | I |
| And lighten me yet in another hour | D |
| Of her sunny hair and her beautiful eyes | I |
| Laughing over the golden sunflower | D |
