The Invitation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE BGCH CIJI| Come hither my dear one my choice one and rare one | A |
| And let us be walking the meadows so fair | B |
| Where on pilewort and daisies the eye fondly gazes | C |
| And the wind plays so sweet in thy bonny brown hair | B |
| - | |
| Come with thy maiden eye lay silks and satins by | D |
| Come in thy russet or grey cotton gown | E |
| Come to the meads dear where flags sedge and reeds appear | F |
| Rustling to soft winds and bowing low down | E |
| - | |
| Come with thy parted hair bright eyes and forehead bare | B |
| Come to the whitethorn that grows in the lane | G |
| To banks of primroses where sweetness reposes | C |
| Come love and let us be happy again | H |
| - | |
| Come where the violet flowers come where the morning showers | C |
| Pearl on the primrose and speedwell so blue | I |
| Come to that clearest brook that ever runs round the nook | J |
| Where you and I pledged our first love so true | I |
