The Wife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDCE| There stands a cottage by a river side | A |
| With rustic benches sloping eaves beneath | B |
| Amid a scene of mountain stream and heath | B |
| A dainty garden watered by the tide | A |
| On whose calm breast the queenly lilies ride | A |
| Is bright with many a purple pansy wreath | B |
| While here and there forbidden lion's teeth | B |
| Uprear their golden crowns with stubborn pride | A |
| - | |
| See there she leans upon the little gate | C |
| Unchanged save that her curls once flowing free | D |
| Are closely coiled upon her shapely head | E |
| And that her eyes look forth more thoughtfully | D |
| Hark to her sigh Why tarries he so late | C |
| But mark her smile She hears his well known tread | E |
