The Lyric Rose. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDAAEEFFGGH| What other work in the world have I | A |
| Than but to sing my song and die | A |
| No other work of hate or love | B |
| For hell below or heaven above | B |
| As if it were the one thing true | C |
| For me whatever others do | C |
| My days and nights to this tune set | D |
| As Romeo to Juliet | D |
| I put all else within time by | A |
| For this do live for this would die | A |
| If that but haply on my tomb | E |
| A lyric rose should bud and bloom | E |
| The which some passer by might swear | F |
| Was precious in its beauty there | F |
| And kneeling might a petal take | G |
| And love it for the Singer's sake | G |
| A Girl's Desire | H |
