I Will Ask Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCD EEEEFEFE AAGHCDCD| I 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 |
