The Violet Pressed In A Copy Of Shakespeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HAHA IBJB KGKG GJGJ| Here in the inmost of the master's heart | A |
| This violet crisp with early dew | B |
| Has come to leave her beauty and to part | A |
| With all her vivid hue | B |
| - | |
| And while in hollow glades and dells of musk | C |
| Her fellows will reflower in bands | D |
| Clasping the deeps of shade and emerald dusk | C |
| With sweet inviolate hands | D |
| - | |
| She will lie here a ghost of their delight | E |
| Their lucent stems all ashen gray | F |
| Their purples fallen into pulvil white | E |
| Dull as the bluebird's alula | G |
| - | |
| But her where human passions pulse in power | H |
| She will transcend our Shakespeare's art | A |
| From Desdemona to a smothered flower | H |
| Will leap the tragic heart | A |
| - | |
| And memory will recall in keener mood | I |
| The precinct fair where passion grew | B |
| The stars within the water in the wood | J |
| The moonlit grove the odorous dew | B |
| - | |
| The voice that throbbed along the summer dark | K |
| Will float and pause and thrill | G |
| In lonely cadence silvern as the lark | K |
| To fail below the hill | G |
| - | |
| The reader will grow weary of the play | G |
| Finding his hearts half understood | J |
| And with the young moon in the early dusk will stray | G |
| Beside the starry water in the wood | J |
