Mignonne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAADCCEFEDADABABG HGIIJJIBBAIKK| Whate'er thou dost thou'rt dear | A |
| Uncertain troubles sanctify | B |
| That magic well spring of the willing tear | C |
| Thine eye | B |
| Thy jealous fear | A |
| With not the rustle of a rival near | A |
| Thy careless disregard of all | D |
| My tenderest care | C |
| Thy dumb despair | C |
| When thy keen wit my worship may construe | E |
| Into contempt of thy divinity | F |
| They please me too | E |
| But should it once befall | D |
| These accidental charms to disappear | A |
| Leaving withal | D |
| Thy sometime self the same throughout the year | A |
| So glowing grave and shy | B |
| Kind talkative and dear | A |
| As now thou sitt'st to ply | B |
| The fireside tune | G |
| Of that neat engine deft at which thou sew'st | H |
| With fingers mild and foot like the new moon | G |
| O then what cross of any further fate | I |
| Could my content abate | I |
| Forget then but I know | J |
| Thou canst not so | J |
| Thy customs of some pr diluvian state | I |
| I am no Bullfinch fair my Butterfly | B |
| That thou should'st try | B |
| Those zigzag courses in the welkin clear | A |
| Nor cruel Boy that fledd'st thou straight | I |
| Or paused mayhap | K |
| Might catch thee for thy colours with his cap | K |
