Weeds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCB EFEF GHGH| White with daisies and red with sorrel | A |
| And empty empty under the sky | B |
| Life is a quest and love a quarrel | A |
| Here is a place for me to lie | B |
| - | |
| Daisies spring from damned seeds | C |
| And this red fire that here I see | D |
| Is a worthless crop of crimson weeds | C |
| Cursed by farmers thriftily | B |
| - | |
| But here unhated for an hour | E |
| The sorrel runs in ragged flame | F |
| The daisy stands a bastard flower | E |
| Like flowers that bear an honest name | F |
| - | |
| And here a while where no wind brings | G |
| The baying of a pack athirst | H |
| May sleep the sleep of blessed things | G |
| The blood too bright the brow accurst | H |
