The Prairie Roses. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA| The 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 |
