Windflowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA BBDD EEFF| When I was little and good | A |
| I walked in the dappled wood | A |
| Where light white windflowers grew | B |
| And hyacinths heavy and blue | B |
| - | |
| The windflowers fluttered light | C |
| Like butterflies white and bright | C |
| The bluebells tremulous stood | A |
| Deep in the heart of the wood | A |
| - | |
| I gathered the white and the blue | B |
| The wild wet woodland through | B |
| With hands too silly and small | D |
| To clasp and carry them all | D |
| - | |
| Some dropped from my hands and died | E |
| By the home road's grassy side | E |
| And those that my fond hands pressed | F |
| Died even before the rest | F |
