My Loss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABB CDCCDD EFEEFF GHIGHHIN the world was one green nook I knew | A |
Full of roses roses red and white | B |
Reddest roses summer ever grew | A |
Whitest roses ever pearled with dew | A |
And their sweetness was beyond delight | B |
Was all love's delight | B |
- | |
Wheresoever in the world I went | C |
Roses were for in my heart I took | D |
Blow and blossom and bewildering scent | C |
Roses never with the summer spent | C |
Roses always ripening in that nook | D |
Love's far summer nook | D |
- | |
In the world a soddened plot I know | E |
Blackening in this chill and misty air | F |
Set with shivering bushes in a row | E |
One by one the last leaves letting go | E |
Wheresoe'er I turn I shall be there | F |
Always sighing there | F |
- | |
Ah my folly Ah my loss my pain | G |
Dead my roses that can blow no more | H |
Wherefore looked I on our nook again | I |
Wherefore went I after autumn's rain | G |
Where the summer roses bloomed before | H |
Bloomed so sweet before | H |
