My Strawberry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJKL MMNOPPQQAARRSS| O marvel fruit of fruits I pause | A |
| To reckon thee I ask what cause | B |
| Set free so much of red from heats | C |
| At core of earth and mixed such sweets | C |
| With sour and spice what was that strength | D |
| Which out of darkness length by length | D |
| Spun all thy shining thread of vine | E |
| Netting the fields in bond as thine | E |
| I see thy tendrils drink by sips | F |
| From grass and clover's smiling lips | F |
| I hear thy roots dig down for wells | G |
| Tapping the meadow's hidden cells | G |
| Whole generations of green things | H |
| Descended from long lines of springs | H |
| I see make room for thee to bide | I |
| A quiet comrade by their side | I |
| I see the creeping peoples go | J |
| Mysterious journeys to and fro | J |
| Treading to right and left of thee | K |
| Doing thee homage wonderingly | L |
| I see the wild bees as they fare | M |
| Thy cups of honey drink but spare | M |
| I mark thee bathe and bathe again | N |
| In sweet unclaendared spring rain | O |
| I watch how all May has of sun | P |
| Makes haste to have thy ripeness done | P |
| While all her nights let dews escape | Q |
| To set and cool thy perfect shape | Q |
| Ah fruit of fruits no more I pause | A |
| To dream and seek thy hidden laws | A |
| I stretch my hand and dare to taste | R |
| In instant of delicious waste | R |
| On single feast all things that went | S |
| To make the empire thou hast spent | S |
