Growth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEF| I watched the glory of her childhood change | A |
| Half sorrowful to find the child I knew | B |
| Loved long ago in lily time | C |
| Become a maid mysterious and strange | A |
| With fair pure eyes dear eyes but not the eyes I knew | B |
| Of old in the olden time | C |
| - | |
| Till on my doubting soul the ancient good | D |
| Of her dear childhood in the new disguise | E |
| Dawned and I hastened to adore | F |
| The glory of her waking maidenhead | D |
| And found the old tenderness within her deepening eyes | E |
| But kinder than before | F |
