Nancy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA CDECDE| You are a rose but set with sharpest spine | A |
| You are a pretty bird that pecks at me | B |
| You are a little squirrel on a tree | B |
| Pelting me with the prickly fruit of the pine | A |
| A diamond torn from a crystal mine | A |
| Not like that milky treasure of the sea | B |
| A smooth translucent pearl but skilfully | C |
| Carven to cut and faceted to shine | A |
| - | |
| If you are flame it dances and burns blue | C |
| If you are light it pierces like a star | D |
| Intenser than a needlepoint of ice | E |
| The dextrous touch that shaped the soul of you | C |
| Mingled to mix and make you what you are | D |
| Magic between the sugar and the spice | E |
