For A Picture Of St. Dorothea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL

I bear a basket lined with grassA
I am so light I am so fairB
That men must wonder as I passA
And at the basket that I bearB
Where in a newly drawn green litterC
Sweet flowers I carry sweets for bitterC
-
Lilies I shew you lilies noneD
None in Caesar's gardens blowE
And a quince in hand not oneD
Is set upon your boughs belowE
Not set because their buds not springF
Spring not 'cause world is winteringF
-
But these were found in the East and SouthG
Where Winter is the clime forgotH
The dewdrop on the larkspur's mouthG
O should it then be quench egrave d notH
In starry water meads they drewI
These drops which be they stars or dewI
-
Had she a quince in hand Yet gazeJ
Rather it is the sizing moonK
Lo link egrave d heavens with milky waysJ
That was her larkspur row So soonK
Sphered so fast sweet soul We seeL
Nor fruit nor flowers nor DorothyL
