To One Who Loves Red Roses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH

When our lives were in their springtime and our souls were in the budA
While the watchful world was silent heeding not such childish loveB
I poured forth for thee my heart thoughts in a sweet unthinking floodA
Like a bird that carols freely in the groveC
-
And thou heardst them half unconscious of the import that they boreD
Till the years unlocked the chambers of thy stainless maiden heartE
And thou badest my songs be silent They are silent evermoreD
But their echoes from my soul will not departE
-
Yet the love songs that I lilted in those by gone childhood daysF
Surely them thou wilt not silence let them be a memory dearG
Of the happy days of childhood when unchecked I sang thy praiseF
While with thee I looked to heaven and deemed it hereH
