The Prairie Roses. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA

The Noon Sun prayed a prairie roseA
To blanch for him her blossom's hueB
But to the Plain all love she owesA
Beneath that mother's grass she grewB
-
And sheltered by her verdant bladesC
Their tints of green she made her ownD
But still the Sun sought out her shadesC
And said Be my white bride aloneD
-
Then sorrowing for his grievous painE
Her sister loved the amorous godF
And blushed ashamed as o'er the plainE
His parting beams illumed the sodF
-
So one sweet rose yet wears the greenG
And one in sunset's crimson glowsA
Still one untouched by love is seenG
And one in conscious beauty blowsA
