To One Who Loves Red Roses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFHWhen our lives were in their springtime and our souls were in the bud | A |
While the watchful world was silent heeding not such childish love | B |
I poured forth for thee my heart thoughts in a sweet unthinking flood | A |
Like a bird that carols freely in the grove | C |
- | |
And thou heardst them half unconscious of the import that they bore | D |
Till the years unlocked the chambers of thy stainless maiden heart | E |
And thou badest my songs be silent They are silent evermore | D |
But their echoes from my soul will not depart | E |
- | |
Yet the love songs that I lilted in those by gone childhood days | F |
Surely them thou wilt not silence let them be a memory dear | G |
Of the happy days of childhood when unchecked I sang thy praise | F |
While with thee I looked to heaven and deemed it here | H |
