A Garden Of Girls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGGGG

KATE is like a violet Gertrude's like a roseA
Jane is like a gillyflower smartB
But Laura's like a lily the purest bud that blowsA
Whose white white petals veil the golden heartB
Girls in the garden one and two and threeC
One for song and one for play and one ah one for meC
Gillyflowers and violets and roses fair and fineD
But only one a lily and that one lily mineD
-
-
Bertha is a hollyhock stately tall and fairE
Mabel has the daisy's dainty graceF
Edith has the gold of the sunflower on her hairE
But Laura wears the lily in her faceF
Girls in the garden five and six and sevenG
Three to take and three to give but one ah one is givenG
Hollyhocks and daisies and sunflowers like the sunG
But only one a lily and that one lily wonG
