The Snowdrop Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBBCDCDEE| Sweet type of innocence snow clothed blossom | A |
| Seemly though vainly bowing down to shun | B |
| The storm hard beating on thy wan white bosom | A |
| Left in the swail and little cheer'd by sun | B |
| Resembling that frail jewel just begun | B |
| To ope on vice's eye its witcheries blooming | C |
| Midst all its storms with little room to shun | B |
| Ah thou art winter's snowdrop lovely Woman | B |
| In this world dropt where every evil's glooming | C |
| With killing tempests o'er its tender prey | D |
| Watching the opening of thy beauties coming | C |
| Its every infant charm to snatch away | D |
| Then come the sorrows thou'rt too weak to brave | E |
| And then thy beauty cheek digs ruin's early grave | E |
