To A Very Young Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGFGHI JKJKLL| Why came I so untimely forth | A |
| Into a world which wanting thee | B |
| Could entertain us with no worth | C |
| Or shadow of felicity | B |
| That time should me so far remove | D |
| From that which I was born to love | E |
| - | |
| Yet fairest blossom do not slight | F |
| That age which you may know so soon | G |
| The rosy morn resigns her light | F |
| And milder glory to the noon | G |
| And then what wonder shall you do | H |
| When dawning beauty warns us so | I |
| - | |
| Hope waits upon the flowery prime | J |
| And summer though it be less gay | K |
| Yet is not looked on as a time | J |
| Of declination and decay | K |
| For with a full hand that does bring | L |
| All that was promised by the spring | L |
