The Azalea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAAAACADDACAAAAA AAAAE| There where the sun shines first | A |
| Against our room | B |
| She train'd the gold Azalea whose perfume | B |
| She Spring like from her breathing grace dispersed | A |
| Last night the delicate crests of saffron bloom | B |
| For this their dainty likeness watch'd and nurst | A |
| Were just at point to burst | A |
| At dawn I dream'd O God that she was dead | A |
| And groan'd aloud upon my wretched bed | A |
| And waked ah God and did not waken her | C |
| But lay with eyes still closed | A |
| Perfectly bless'd in the delicious sphere | D |
| By which I knew so well that she was near | D |
| My heart to speechless thankfulness composed | A |
| Till 'gan to stir | C |
| A dizzy somewhat in my troubled head | A |
| It was the azalea's breath and she was dead | A |
| The warm night had the lingering buds disclosed | A |
| And I had fall'n asleep with to my breast | A |
| A chance found letter press'd | A |
| In which she said | A |
| 'So till to morrow eve my Own adieu | A |
| Parting's well paid with soon again to meet | A |
| Soon in your arms to feel so small and sweet | A |
| Sweet to myself that am so sweet to you ' | E |
