Mary. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC ADADECAC FGHGACAC IJKLMCNC

My Mary's as sweet as the flowers that growA
By the side of the brooklet that runs near her cotB
Her brow is as fair as the fresh fallen snowA
And the gleam of her smile can be never forgotB
Her figure is lithe and as graceful I weenA
As was Venus when Paris awarded the prizeC
She's the wiles of a fairy the step of a queenA
And the light of true love's in her bonny brown eyesC
-
To see was to love her to love was to mournA
For her heart was as fickle as April daysD
When you'd given her all and asked some returnA
You got but a taste of her false winsome waysD
You never could tell though you knew her so wellE
That her sweet fascinations were nothing but liesC
Like a fool you loved on when of hope there was noneA
And your heart sought relief in her bonny brown eyesC
-
Yet 'tis sad to relate though unhappy my fateF
I would sacrifice all that on earth I hold dearG
If she would but consent to be true and contentH
With the heart that is faithful when distant or nearG
Through pleasure and pain we together againA
May never commingle our smiles and our sighsC
But when sleeping or waking I struggle in vainA
To forget the sweet maid with the bonny brown eyesC
-
Oh Mary my love with the coo of the doveI
I would woo thee to win thee and ever to liveJ
Where thy bright loving face and thy figure of graceK
Could surround me with joys that none other can giveL
Oh say but a word and I'll fly like a birdM
To the one whom my heart will beat for till it diesC
Bid me come to my home bid me come bid me comeN
And bask in the light of thy bonny brown eyesC
