Beauty Is Vain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBE FGEGBHFHWhile roses are so red | A |
While lilies are so white | B |
Shall a woman exalt her face | C |
Because it gives delight | B |
She's not so sweet as a rose | D |
A lily's straighter than she | E |
And if she were as red or white | B |
She'd be but one of three | E |
- | |
Whether she flush in love's summer | F |
Or in its winter grow pale | G |
Whether she flaunt her beauty | E |
Or hide it away in a veil | G |
Be she red or white | B |
And stand she erect or bowed | H |
Time will win the race he runs with her | F |
And hide her away in a shroud | H |
