Stanzas To Flora Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFBB GGHHBB BBIIJJ AAKLMD| LET OTHERS wreaths of ROSES twine | A |
| With scented leaves of EGLANTINE | A |
| Enamell'd buds and gaudy flow'rs | B |
| The pride of FLORA'S painted bow'rs | B |
| Such common charms shall ne'er be wove | C |
| Around the brows of him I LOVE | D |
| - | |
| Fair are their beauties for a day | E |
| But swiftly do they fade away | E |
| Each PINK sends forth its choicest sweet | F |
| AURORA'S warm embrace to meet | F |
| And each inconstant breeze that blows | B |
| Steals essence from the musky ROSE | B |
| - | |
| Then lead me FLORA to some vale | G |
| Where shelter'd from the fickle gale | G |
| In modest garb amidst the gloom | H |
| The constant MYRTLE sheds perfume | H |
| And hid secure from prying eyes | B |
| In spotless beauty BLOOMS and DIES | B |
| - | |
| And should its velvet leaves dispense | B |
| No pow'rful odours to the sense | B |
| Should no proud tints of gaudy hue | I |
| With dazz'ling lustre pain the view | I |
| Still shall its verdant boughs defy | J |
| The northern blast and wintry sky | J |
| - | |
| AH VENUS should this hand of mine | A |
| Steal from thy tree a wreath divine | A |
| Assist me while I fondly bind | K |
| Two Hearts by holy FRIENDSHIP join'd | L |
| Thy cherish'd branches then shall prove | M |
| Sacred to TRUTH as well as LOVE | D |
