Rosemary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAA ABAAAA CCCCCC

Beauty and Beauty's son and rosemaryA
Venus and Love her son to speak plainlyA
born of the sea supposedlyA
at Christmas each in companyA
braids a garland of festivityA
Not always rosemaryA
-
since the flight to Egypt blooming indifferentlyA
With lancelike leaf green but silver underneathB
its flowers white originallyA
turned blue The herb of memoryA
imitating the blue robe of MaryA
is not too legendaryA
-
to flower both as symbol and as pungencyC
Springing from stones beside the seaC
the height of Christ when he was thirty threeC
it feeds on dew and to the beeC
hath a dumb language is in realityC
a kind of Christmas treeC
