The Withered Rosebud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGHGACICDECE| I gathered you sweet little rosebud | A |
| With a dew crown encircling your head | B |
| Now out of the window I toss you | C |
| Shriveled and scentless and dead | B |
| You had opened to wondrous perfection | D |
| Had only my hand let you pass | E |
| Yet here you have perished for water | F |
| I forgot to put some in the glass | E |
| - | |
| Ah poor little withered dead rosebud | A |
| How many a weak human heart | G |
| Too like you has famishing perished | H |
| When life had but only a start | G |
| Yes many a heart little rosebud | A |
| Loving and tender and true | C |
| For water has faded and withered | I |
| And died in its beauty like you | C |
| Not because there was dearth of life's fountain | D |
| Nor the blessing to all might not pass | E |
| But because the strong hand which it clung to | C |
| Forgot to put some in its glass | E |
