Jacqueminots Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG| I MAY not speak in words dear but let my words be flowers | A |
| To tell their crimson secret in leaves of fragrant fire | B |
| They plead for smiles and kisses as summer fields for showers | A |
| And every purple veinlet thrills with exquisite desire | B |
| - | |
| O let me see the glance dear the gleam of soft confession | C |
| You give my amorous roses for the tender hope they prove | D |
| And press their heart leaves back love to drink their deeper passion | C |
| For their sweetest wildest perfume is the whisper of my love | E |
| - | |
| My roses tell her pleading all the fondness and the sighing | F |
| All the longing of a heart that reaches thirsting for its bliss | G |
| And tell her tell her roses that my lips and eyes are dying | F |
| For the melting of her love look and the rapture of her kiss | G |
