To A Very Young Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGFGHI JKJKLLWhy 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 |
