I Will Ask Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCD EEEEFEFE AAGHCDCDI will ask primrose and violet to spend for you | A |
Their smell and hue | A |
And the bold trembling anemone awhile to spare | B |
Her flowers starry fair | B |
Or the flushed wild apple and yet sweeter thorn | C |
Their sweetness to keep | D |
Longer than any fire bosomed flower born | C |
Between midnight and midnight deep | D |
- | |
And I will take celandine nettle and parsley white | E |
In its own green light | E |
Or milkwort and sorrel thyme harebell and meadowsweet | E |
Lifting at your feet | E |
And ivy blossom beloved of soft bees I will take | F |
The loveliest | E |
The seeding grasses that bend with the winds and shake | F |
Though the winds are at rest | E |
- | |
For me you will ask Yes surely they wave for you | A |
Their smell and hue | A |
And you away all that is rare were so much less | G |
By your missed happiness | H |
Yet I know grass and weed ivy and apple and thorn | C |
Their whole sweet would keep | D |
Though in Eden no human spirit on a shining morn | C |
Had awaked from sleep | D |
