The Prairie Roses. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGAThe Noon Sun prayed a prairie rose | A |
To blanch for him her blossom's hue | B |
But to the Plain all love she owes | A |
Beneath that mother's grass she grew | B |
- | |
And sheltered by her verdant blades | C |
Their tints of green she made her own | D |
But still the Sun sought out her shades | C |
And said Be my white bride alone | D |
- | |
Then sorrowing for his grievous pain | E |
Her sister loved the amorous god | F |
And blushed ashamed as o'er the plain | E |
His parting beams illumed the sod | F |
- | |
So one sweet rose yet wears the green | G |
And one in sunset's crimson glows | A |
Still one untouched by love is seen | G |
And one in conscious beauty blows | A |
