A Worn Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACBACD AEFGDEAG

Where to day would a dainty buyerA
Imbibe your scented juiceB
Pale ruin with a heart of fireA
Drain your succulence with her lipsC
Grown sapless from much useB
Make minister of her desireA
A chalice cup where no bee sipsC
Where no wasp wanders inD
-
Close to her white flesh housed an hourA
One held you her spent formE
Drew on yours for its wasted dowerF
What favour could she do you moreG
Yet of all who drink thereinD
None know it is the warmE
Odorous heart of a ravished flowerA
Tingles so in her mouth's red coreG
