Dewdrops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFCGHIEJKKELThe dewdrops on every blade of grass are so much like silver drops | A |
that I am obliged to stoop down as I walk to see if they are pearls | B |
and those sprinkled on the ivy woven beds of primroses underneath the | C |
hazels whitethorns and maples are so like gold beads that I stooped | D |
down to feel if they were hard but they melted from my finger And | E |
where the dew lies on the primrose the violet and whitethorn leaves | F |
they are emerald and beryl yet nothing more than the dews of the | C |
morning on the budding leaves nay the road grasses are covered with | G |
gold and silver beads and the further we go the brighter they seem to | H |
shine like solid gold and silver It is nothing more than the sun's | I |
light and shade upon them in the dewy morning every thorn point and | E |
every bramble spear has its trembling ornament till the wind gets | J |
a little brisker and then all is shaken off and all the shining | K |
jewelry passes away into a common spring morning full of budding | K |
leaves primroses violets vernal speedwell bluebell and orchis and | E |
commonplace objects | L |
