The Easter Flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Far from this foreign Easter damp and chilly | A |
| My soul steals to a pear shaped plot of ground | B |
| Where gleamed the lilac tinted Easter lily | A |
| Soft scented in the air for yards around | B |
| - | |
| Alone without a hint of guardian leaf | C |
| Just like a fragile bell of silver rime | D |
| It burst the tomb for freedom sweet and brief | C |
| In the young pregnant year at Eastertime | D |
| - | |
| And many thought it was a sacred sign | E |
| And some called it the resurrection flower | F |
| And I a pagan worshiped at its shrine | E |
| Yielding my heart unto its perfumed power | F |
