Deep In A Yew-sequestered Grove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIIH EJJE| Deep in a yew sequestered grove | A |
| I sat and wept my heart away | B |
| A child came by at close of day | B |
| With eyes as sweet as new born love | C |
| - | |
| He came from sun bleached meadows where | D |
| High on the hedge the topmost rose | E |
| Curtsies to every wind that blows | E |
| A wanton of the summer air | D |
| - | |
| The sunset aureoled his brow | F |
| Kindling the roses in his hand | G |
| And by my side I saw him stand | G |
| To offer me his rose red bough | F |
| - | |
| Take back thy gift I sighed forlorn | H |
| And showed where like the yew's red seed | I |
| My blood had trickled bead on bead | I |
| From wounds made by his cruel thorn | H |
| - | |
| He smiled and said Nay take my Rose | E |
| You know when all is said and done | J |
| There's not a joy beneath the sun | J |
| Worth lovers' joys but lovers' woes | E |
