The Stranger's Gift Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| I found far culled from fragrant field and grove | A |
| Each flower that makes our Spring a welcome guest | B |
| In one sweet bond of brotherhood inwove | A |
| An osier band their leafy stalks compressed | B |
| A stranger's hand had made their bloom my own | C |
| And fresh their fragrance rested on the air | D |
| His gift was mine but he who gave unknown | C |
| And my heart sorrowed though the flowers were fair | D |
| Now oft I grieve to meet them on the lawn | E |
| As sweetly scattered round my path they grow | F |
| By One who on their petals paints the dawn | E |
| And gilt with sunset splendors bids them glow | F |
| For I ne'er asked 'who steeps them in perfume ' | G |
| Nor anxious sought His love who crowns them all with bloom | H |
