Gertrude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBBEEFGHII| When first I gazed on GERTRUDE'S face | A |
| Beheld her loveliness and grace | A |
| Her brave gray eyes her raven hair | B |
| Her ways more winsome than the kiss | C |
| Spring gives the flowers her smile that is | D |
| Brighter than all the summer air | B |
| Made sweet with birds I did declare | B |
| And still declare there is no one | E |
| No girl beneath the moon or sun | E |
| So beautiful to look upon | F |
| And to my thoughts that on her dwell | G |
| Nothing seems more desirable | H |
| Not OPHIR gold nor ORIENT pearls | I |
| Than seems this jewel girl of girls | I |
