Amaryllis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DEFGGE| Once when I wandered in the woods alone | A |
| An old man tottered up to me and said | B |
| Come friend and see the grave that I have made | C |
| For Amaryllis There was in the tone | A |
| Of his complaint such quaver and such moan | A |
| That I took pity on him and obeyed | C |
| And long stood looking where his hands had laid | C |
| An ancient woman shrunk to skin and bone | A |
| - | |
| Far out beyond the forest I could hear | D |
| The calling of loud progress and the bold | E |
| Incessant scream of commerce ringing clear | F |
| But though the trumpets of the world were glad | G |
| It made me lonely and it made me sad | G |
| To think that Amaryllis had grown old | E |
