The Troll's Nosegay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGGFHGIGGF| A simple nosegay Was that much to ask | A |
| Winter still nagged with scarce a bud yet showing | B |
| He loved her ill if he resigned the task | A |
| 'Somewhere ' she cried 'there must be blossom blowing ' | C |
| It seems my lady wept and the troll swore | D |
| By Heaven he hated tears he'd cure her spleen | E |
| Where she had begged one flower he'd shower fourscore | D |
| A bunch fit to amaze a China Queen | E |
| - | |
| Cold fog drawn Lily pale mist magic Rose | F |
| He conjured and in a glassy cauldron set | G |
| WIth elvish unsubstantial Mignonette | G |
| And such vague blooms as wandering dreams enclose | F |
| But she | H |
| Awed | G |
| Charmed to tears | I |
| Distracted | G |
| Yet | G |
| Even yet perhaps a trifle piqued who knows | F |
