An Ode To Nellie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB AACC DDBB| AH Nellie you were always fair and you were always good and true | A |
| I've sung about your wealth of hair and praised your eyes so soft and blue | A |
| Your charms are many I confess but now my pen in hand I take | B |
| To praise in my poor humble way the strawb'ry shortcake that you make | B |
| - | |
| It may be other maidens play a better bridge whist game than you | A |
| That other wives for suffrage make far better speeches than you do | A |
| And other women it may be know more of Browning and of Keats | C |
| But you make shortcake Nellie dear that every other woman's beats | C |
| - | |
| And were you lacking in those charms that cheer the eye and warm the heart | D |
| Were you not fair to look upon an angel's very counterpart | D |
| Were you not gentle patient kind did you not soothe my every ache | B |
| I still should love you Nellie for the strawb'ry shortcake that you make | B |
