Maidenhood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI| THROUGH her fair world of blossoms fresh and bright | A |
| Veiled with her maiden innocence she goes | B |
| Not all the splendour of the waxing light | A |
| She sees nor all the colour of the rose | B |
| And yet who knows what finer hues she sees | C |
| Hid by our wisdom from our longing eyes | D |
| Who knows what light she sees in skies and seas | C |
| Which is withholden from our seas and skies | D |

| Shod with her youth the thorny paths she treads | E |
| And feels not yet the treachery of the thorn | F |
| Her crown of lilies still its perfume sheds | E |
| Where Love the thorny crown not yet is borne | F |
| Yet in the mystery of her peaceful way | G |
| Who knows what fears beset her innocence | H |
| Who trembling learns that thorns will wound some day | G |
| And wonders what thorns are and why and whence | I |
