Primrose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBDEFEGFG H| Upon a bank I sat a child made seer | A |
| Of one small primrose flowering in my mind | B |
| Better than wealth it is I said to find | B |
| One small page of Truth's manuscript made clear | C |
| I looked at Christ transfigured without fear | C |
| The light was very beautiful and kind | B |
| And where the Holy Ghost in flame had signed | B |
| I read it through the lenses of a tear | D |
| And then my sight grew dim I could not see | E |
| The primrose that had lighted me to Heaven | F |
| And there was but the shadow of a tree | E |
| Ghostly among the stars The years that pass | G |
| Like tired soldiers nevermore have given | F |
| Moments to see wonders in the grass | G |
