To The Daughter Of The Author Of "violet Keith." Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEEFFGGAAHHI JKKLL| I never looked upon thy face | A |
| I never saw thy dwelling place | A |
| My home is by Lake Erie's shore | B |
| Beyond Niagara's distant roar | B |
| And thine where ships at anchor ride | C |
| By fair St Lawrence's rolling tide | C |
| With half a continent between | D |
| Its seas of blue and isles of green | D |
| And many a mountain's nodding crest | E |
| And many a valley's jewelled breast | E |
| Thou in the east I in the west | E |
| Yet in this book thou hast to me | F |
| An individuality | F |
| Something more tangible and fair | G |
| Than any dream or shape of air | G |
| With more than an ideal grace | A |
| And sweeter than a pictured face | A |
| For in this book my thought recalls | H |
| The garden quaint the convent walls | H |
| And thou beneath their shadow set | I |
| A blue eyed fragrant violet | J |
| So for the maiden of the tale | K |
| Whose brave true heart might break not fail | K |
| Thyself my Violet I make | L |
| And love thee for thy mother's sake | L |
