Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDECCE FGHIJH| I made a posie while the day ran by | A |
| Here will I smell my remnant out and tie | A |
| My life within this band | B |
| But time did becken to the flowers and they | C |
| By noon most cunningly did steal away | C |
| And wither'd in my hand | B |
| - | |
| My hand was next to them and then my heart | D |
| I took without more thinking in good part | D |
| Times gentle admonition | E |
| Who did so sweetly deaths sad taste convey | C |
| Making my minde to smell my fatall day | C |
| Yet sugring the suspicion | E |
| - | |
| Farewell deare flowers sweetly your time ye spent | F |
| Fit while ye liv'd for smell or ornament | G |
| And after death for cures | H |
| I follow straight without complaints or grief | I |
| Since if my sent be good I care not if | J |
| It be as short as yours | H |
