Secret Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCADEEEEDFGGHHF| Is love a light for me A steady light | A |
| A lamp within whose pallid pool I dream | B |
| Over old love books Or is it a gleam | B |
| A lantern coming towards me from afar | C |
| Down a dark mountain Is my love a star | C |
| Ah me so high above so coldly bright | A |
| The fire dances Is my love a fire | D |
| Leaping down the twilight muddy and bold | E |
| Nay I'd be frightened of him I'm too cold | E |
| For quick and eager loving There's a gold | E |
| Sheen on these flower petals as they fold | E |
| More truly mine more like to my desire | D |
| The flower petals fold They are by the sun | F |
| Forgotten In a shadowy wood they grow | G |
| Where the dark trees keep up a to and fro | G |
| Shadowy waving Who will watch them shine | H |
| When I have dreamed my dream Ah darling mine | H |
| Find them gather them for me one by one | F |
