Not In A Silver Casket Cool With Pearls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGBB

Not in a silver casket cool with pearlsA
Or rich with red corundum or with blueB
Locked and the key withheld as other girlsA
Have given their loves I give my love to youB
Not in a lovers' knot not in a ringC
Worked in such fashion and the legend plain mdashD
Semper fidelis where a secret springC
Kennels a drop of mischief for the brainE
Love in the open hand no thing but thatF
Ungemmed unhidden wishing not to hurtG
As one should bring you cowslips in a hatF
Swung from the hand or apples in her skirtG
I bring you calling out as children doB
Look what I have mdash And these are all for youB
