A Rose Plant In Jericho Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBA ABCCBA ABCCBA| At morn I plucked a rose and gave it Thee | A |
| A rose of joy and happy love and peace | B |
| A rose with scarce a thorn | C |
| But in the chillness of a second morn | C |
| My rose bush drooped and all its gay increase | B |
| Was but one thorn that wounded me | A |
| - | |
| I plucked the thorn and offered it to Thee | A |
| And for my thorn Thou gavest love and peace | B |
| Not joy this mortal morn | C |
| If Thou hast given much treasure for a thorn | C |
| Wilt thou not give me for my rose increase | B |
| Of gladness and all sweets to me | A |
| - | |
| My thorny rose my love and pain to Thee | A |
| I offer and I set my heart in peace | B |
| And rest upon my thorn | C |
| For verily I think to morrow morn | C |
| Shall bring me Paradise my gift's increase | B |
| Yea give Thy very Self to me | A |
