Autumn Violets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCE| Keep love for youth and violets for the spring | A |
| Or if these bloom when worn out autumn grieves | B |
| Let them lie hid in double shade of leaves | B |
| Their own and others dropped down withering | A |
| For violets suit when home birds build and sing | A |
| Not when the outbound bird a passage cleaves | B |
| Not with dry stubble of mown harvest sheaves | B |
| But when the green world buds to blossoming | A |
| Keep violets for the spring and love for youth | C |
| Love that should dwell with beauty mirth and hope | D |
| Or if a later sadder love be born | E |
| Let this not look for grace beyond its scope | D |
| But give itself nor plead for answering truth | C |
| A grateful Ruth tho' gleaning scanty corn | E |
