A Virginal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBCCBBBCBNo no Go from me I have left her lately | A |
I will not spoil my sheath with lesser brightness | B |
For my surrounding air hath a new lightness | B |
Slight are her arms yet they have bound me straitly | A |
And left me cloaked as with a gauze of ther | C |
As with sweet leaves as with subtle clearness | B |
Oh I have picked up magic in her nearness | B |
To sheathe me half in half the things that sheathe her | C |
No no Go from me I have still the flavour | C |
Soft as spring wind that's come from birchen bowers | B |
Green come the shoots aye April in the branches | B |
As winter's wound with her sleight hand she staunches | B |
Hath of the trees a likeness of the savour | C |
As white as their bark so white this lady's hours | B |
