Fulfilment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBEE| I grew a rose once more to please mine eyes | A |
| All things to aid it dew sun wind fair skies | A |
| Were kindly and to shield it from despoil | B |
| I fenced it safely in with grateful toil | B |
| No other hand than mine shall pluck this flower said I | C |
| And I was jealous of the bee that hovered nigh | C |
| It grew for days I stood hour after hour | D |
| To watch the slow unfolding of the flower | D |
| And then I did not leave its side at all | B |
| Lest some mischance my flower should befall | B |
| At last oh joy the central petals burst apart | E |
| It blossomed but alas a worm was at its heart | E |
