Lament V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| Just as a little olive offshoot grows | A |
| Beneath its orchard elders' shady rows | A |
| No budding leaf as yet no branching limb | B |
| Only a rod uprising virgin slim | B |
| Then if the busy gardener weeding out | C |
| Sharp thorns and nettles cuts the little sprout | C |
| It fades and losing all its living hue | D |
| Drops by the mother from whose roots it grew | D |
| So was it with my Ursula my dear | E |
| A little space she grew beside us here | F |
| Then Death came breathing pestilence and she | G |
| Fell stricken lifeless by her parent tree | G |
| Persephone Persephone this flow | H |
| Of barren tears How couldst thou will it so | H |
