The Lass With The Delicate Air Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| Timid and smiling beautiful and shy | A |
| She drops her head at every passer bye | A |
| Afraid of praise she hurries down the streets | B |
| And turns away from every smile she meets | B |
| The forward clown has many things to say | C |
| And holds her by the gown to make her stay | C |
| The picture of good health she goes along | D |
| Hale as the morn and happy as her song | D |
| Yet there is one who never feels a fear | E |
| To whisper pleasing fancies in her ear | F |
| Yet een from him she shuns a rude embrace | G |
| And stooping holds her hands before her face | G |
| She even shuns and fears the bolder wind | H |
| And holds her shawl and often looks behind | H |
