A Yellow Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDC EEECCC FFFCCC GGGCCC HHHCDC| The old gate clicks and down the walk | A |
| Between clove pink and hollyhock | B |
| Still young of face though gray of lock | B |
| Among her garden's flowers she goes | C |
| At evening's close | D |
| Deep in her hair a yellow rose | C |
| - | |
| The old house shows one gable peak | E |
| Above its trees and sage and leek | E |
| Blend with the rose their scents the creek | E |
| Leaf hidden past the garden flows | C |
| That on it snows | C |
| Pale petals of the yellow rose | C |
| - | |
| The crickets pipe in dewy damps | F |
| And everywhere the fireflies' lamps | F |
| Flame like the lights of Faery camps | F |
| While overhead the soft sky shows | C |
| One star that glows | C |
| As in gray hair a yellow rose | C |
| - | |
| There is one spot she seeks for where | G |
| The roses make a fragrant lair | G |
| A spot where once he kissed her hair | G |
| And told his love as each one knows | C |
| Each flower that blows | C |
| And pledged it with a yellow rose | C |
| - | |
| The years have turned her dark hair gray | H |
| Since that glad day and still they say | H |
| She keeps the tryst as on that day | H |
| And through the garden softly goes | C |
| At evening's close | D |
| Wearing for him that yellow rose | C |
