Flowers Without Fruit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Prune thou thy words the thoughts control | A |
| That o'er thee swell and throng | B |
| They will condense within thy soul | A |
| And change to purpose strong | B |
| - | |
| But he who lets his feelings run | C |
| In soft luxurious flow | D |
| Shrinks when hard service must be done | C |
| And faints at every woe | D |
| - | |
| Faith's meanest deed more favor bears | E |
| Where hearts and wills are weighed | F |
| Than brightest transports choicest prayers | E |
| Which bloom their hour and fade | F |
