A Bunch Of Roses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCBCCB DEDDB ABAAB FBFFB| Roses ruddy and roses white | A |
| What are the joys that my heart discloses | B |
| Sitting alone in the fading light | A |
| Memories come to me here tonight | A |
| With the wonderful scent of the big red roses | B |
| Memories come as the daylight fades | C |
| Down on the hearth where the firelight dozes | B |
| Flicker and flutter the lights and shades | C |
| And I see the face of a queen of maids | C |
| Whose memory comes with the scent of roses | B |
| - | |
| Visions arise of a scent of mirth | D |
| And a ball room belle who superbly poses | E |
| A queenly woman of queenly worth | D |
| And I am the happiest man on earth | D |
| With a single flower from a bunch of roses | B |
| - | |
| Only her memory lives tonight | A |
| God in his wisdom her young life closes | B |
| Over her grave may the turf be light | A |
| Cover her coffin with roses white | A |
| She was always fond of the big white roses | B |
| - | |

| - | |
| Such are the visions that fade away | F |
| Man proposes and God disposes | B |
| Look in the glass and I see today | F |
| Only an old man worn and grey | F |
| Bending his head to a bunch of roses | B |
