The Lover's Invitation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EBBD BFBD BBGD| Now the wheat is in the ear and the rose is on the brere | A |
| And bluecaps so divinely blue with poppies of bright scarlet hue | B |
| Maiden at the close o' eve wilt thou dear thy cottage leave | C |
| And walk with one that loves thee | D |
| - | |
| When the even's tiny tears bead upon the grassy spears | E |
| And the spider's lace is wet with its pinhead blebs of dew | B |
| Wilt thou lay thy work aside and walk by brooklets dim descried | B |
| Where I delight to love thee | D |
| - | |
| While thy footfall lightly press'd tramples by the skylark's nest | B |
| And the cockle's streaky eyes mark the snug place where it lies | F |
| Mary put thy work away and walk at dewy close o' day | B |
| With me to kiss and love thee | D |
| - | |
| There's something in the time so sweet when lovers in the evening meet | B |
| The air so still the sky so mild like slumbers of the cradled child | B |
| The moon looks over fields of love among the ivy sleeps the dove | G |
| To see thee is to love thee | D |
