Verses To A Young Lady. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDF GHHH| Here where the Scottish muse immortal lives | A |
| In sacred strains and tuneful numbers join'd | B |
| Accept the gift tho' humble he who gives | A |
| Rich is the tribute of the grateful mind | C |
| - | |
| So may no ruffian feeling in thy breast | D |
| Discordant jar thy bosom chords among | E |
| But peace attune thy gentle soul to rest | D |
| Or love ecstatic wake his seraph song | F |
| - | |
| Or pity's notes in luxury of tears | G |
| As modest want the tale of woe reveals | H |
| While conscious virtue all the strain endears | H |
| And heaven born piety her sanction seals | H |
Robert Burns
