The Furl Of Fresh-leaved Dogrose Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FDFD GHIHJK| The furl of fresh leaved dogrose down | A |
| His cheeks the forth and flaunting sun | B |
| Had swarthed about with lion brown | A |
| Before the Spring was done | B |
| - | |
| His locks like all a ravel rope's end | C |
| With hempen strands in spray | D |
| Fallow foam fallow hanks fall'n off their ranks | E |
| Swung down at a disarray | D |
| - | |
| Or like a juicy and jostling shock | F |
| Of bluebells sheaved in May | D |
| Or wind long fleeces on the flock | F |
| A day off shearing day | D |
| - | |
| Then over his turn egrave d temples here | G |
| Was a rose or failing that | H |
| Rough Robin or five lipped campion clear | I |
| For a beauty bow to his hat | H |
| And the sunlight sidled like dewdrops like dandled diamonds | J |
| Through the sieve of the straw of the plait | K |
