The Fear Of Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| The nodding oxeye bends before the wind | A |
| The woodbine quakes lest boys their flowers should find | A |
| And prickly dogrose spite of its array | B |
| Can't dare the blossom seeking hand away | B |
| While thistles wear their heavy knobs of bloom | C |
| Proud as a warhorse wears its haughty plume | C |
| And by the roadside danger's self defy | D |
| On commons where pined sheep and oxen lie | D |
| In ruddy pomp and ever thronging mood | E |
| It stands and spreads like danger in a wood | F |
| And in the village street where meanest weeds | G |
| Can't stand untouched to fill their husks with seeds | G |
| The haughty thistle oer all danger towers | H |
| In every place the very wasp of flowers | H |
