Anne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGHIJG KGLGIG MNONPN QPRPNP BSCSTS| Her eyes be like the violets | A |
| Ablow in Sudbury lane | B |
| When she doth smile her face is sweet | C |
| As blossoms after rain | B |
| With grief I think of my gray hairs | D |
| And wish me young again | E |
| - | |
| In comes she through the dark old door | F |
| Upon this Sabbath day | G |
| And she doth bring the tender wind | H |
| That sings in bush and tree | I |
| And hints of all the apple boughs | J |
| That kissed her by the way | G |
| - | |
| Our parson stands up straight and tall | K |
| For our dear souls to pray | G |
| And of the place where sinners go | L |
| Some grewsome things doth say | G |
| Now she is highest Heaven to me | I |
| So Hell is far away | G |
| - | |
| Most stiff and still the good folk sit | M |
| To hear the sermon through | N |
| But if our God be such a God | O |
| And if these things be true | N |
| Why did He make her then so fair | P |
| And both her eyes so blue | N |
| - | |
| A flickering light the sun creeps in | Q |
| And finds her sitting there | P |
| And touches soft her lilac gown | R |
| And soft her yellow hair | P |
| I look across to that old pew | N |
| And have both praise and prayer | P |
| - | |
| Oh violets in Sudbury lane | B |
| Amid the grasses green | S |
| This maid who stirs ye with her feet | C |
| Is far more fair I ween | S |
| I wonder how my forty years | T |
| Look by her sweet sixteen | S |
