A Birthday Trifle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGAGA HIHIJKJK| Here in this gold green evening end | A |
| While air is soft and sky is clear | B |
| What tender message shall I send | A |
| To her I hold so dear | B |
| What rose of song with breath like myrrh | C |
| And leaf of dew and fair pure beams | D |
| Shall I select and give to her | C |
| The lady of my dreams | D |
| Alas the blossom I would take | E |
| The song as sweet as Persian speech | F |
| And carry for my lady s sake | E |
| Is not within my reach | F |
| I have no perfect gift of words | G |
| Or I would hasten now to send | A |
| A ballad full of tunes of birds | G |
| To please my lovely friend | A |
| - | |
| But this pure pleasure is my own | H |
| That I have power to waft away | I |
| A hope as bright as heaven s zone | H |
| On this her natal day | I |
| May all her life be like the light | J |
| That softens down in spheres divine | K |
| As lovely as a Lapland night | J |
| All grace and chastened shine | K |
