The Rosebuds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DEE FFF GGG HHH III JKK| Yes in that dainty ivory shrine | A |
| With those three pallid buds I twine | A |
| And fold away a dream divine | A |
| - | |
| One night they lay upon a breast | B |
| Where Love hath made his fragrant nest | B |
| And throned me as a life long guest | B |
| - | |
| Near that chaste heart they seemed to me | C |
| Types of far fairer flowers to be | C |
| The rosebuds of a human tree | C |
| - | |
| Buds that shall bloom beside my hearth | D |
| And there be held of richer worth | E |
| Than all the kingliest gems of earth | E |
| - | |
| Ah me the pathos of the thought | F |
| I had not deemed she wanted aught | F |
| Yet what a tenderer charm it wrought | F |
| - | |
| I know not if she marked the flame | G |
| That lit my cheek but not from shame | G |
| When one sweet image dimly came | G |
| - | |
| There was a murmur soft and low | H |
| White folds of cambric parted slow | H |
| And little fingers played with snow | H |
| - | |
| How far my fancy dared to stray | I |
| A lover's reverence needs not say | I |
| Enough the vision passed away | I |
| - | |
| Passed in a mist of happy tears | J |
| While something in my tranced ears | K |
| Hummed like the future in a seer's | K |
