Song. "a Beautiful Flower, That Bedeck'd A Mean Pasture" Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI| A beautiful flower that bedeck'd a mean pasture | A |
| In virgin perfection I found | B |
| Its fair bloom stood naked to every disaster | A |
| And deep the storm gather'd around | B |
| The rose in the midst of its brambles is blooming | C |
| Whose weapons intruders alarm | D |
| But sweetest of blossoms fond fair and weak woman | E |
| Has nothing to guard her from harm | D |
| - | |
| Each stranger seem'd struck with a blossom so lovely | F |
| In such a lone valley that grew | G |
| The clown's admiration was cast on it roughly | F |
| While blushing it shrank from his view | G |
| O sweet was the eve when I found the fair blossom | H |
| Sure never seem'd blossom so fair | I |
| I instant transplanted its charms to my bosom | H |
| And deep has the root gather'd there | I |
