The Bud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHCIJKLMLNJJJ OPNPJQRQJSTS| The winter through I lay asleep | A |
| Unconscious and unseen | B |
| The howling winds disturbed me not | C |
| Nor felt the frost tho' keen | B |
| Thick blankets covered me about | D |
| And kept me dry and warm | E |
| And weeks and months passed quickly by | F |
| And I received no harm | G |
| At last I felt uneasy in | H |
| My cosy little cot | C |
| Tho' it was lined with softest down | I |
| The cause I knew not what | J |
| I struggled hard to free myself | K |
| But struggled all in vain | L |
| My blankets felt the strain 'tis true | M |
| And opened to the rain | L |
| But just enough for me to see | N |
| The frowning sky o'erhead | J |
| I closed my eyes in sad affright | J |
| And wished that I was dead | J |
| - | |
| But soon a change came o'er my frame | O |
| Much like electric shock | P |
| Oh how I longed for some rare key | N |
| With which I might unlock | P |
| My prison door for I now felt | J |
| The breath of coming Spring | Q |
| And heard likewise her merry laugh | R |
| Like silver bells its ring | Q |
| My lips were close to blanket rent | J |
| I ceased my useless strife | S |
| And she bent over me in love | T |
| And kissed me into life | S |
