Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL| I made another garden yea | A |
| For my new Love | B |
| I left the dead rose where it lay | A |
| And set the new above | B |
| Why did my Summer not begin | C |
| Why did my heart not haste | D |
| My old Love came and walk'd therein | C |
| And laid the garden waste | D |
| - | |
| She enter'd with her weary smile | E |
| Just as of old | F |
| She look'd around a little while | E |
| And shiver'd with the cold | F |
| Her passing touch was death to all | G |
| Her passing look a blight | H |
| She made the white rose petals fall | G |
| And turn'd the red rose white | H |
| - | |
| Her pale robe clinging to the grass | I |
| Seem'd like a snake | J |
| That bit the grass and ground alas | I |
| And a sad trail did make | J |
| She went up slowly to the gate | K |
| And then just as of yore | L |
| She turn'd back at the last to wait | K |
| And say farewell once more | L |
