Comfort To A Lady Upon The Death Of Her Husband Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFGCC| Dry your sweet cheek long drown'd with sorrow's rain | A |
| Since clouds dispers'd suns gild the air again | B |
| Seas chafe and fret and beat and overboil | C |
| But turn soon after calm as balm or oil | C |
| Winds have their time to rage but when they cease | D |
| The leafy trees nod in a still born peace | D |
| Your storm is over lady now appear | E |
| Like to the peeping springtime of the year | E |
| Off then with grave clothes put fresh colours on | F |
| And flow and flame in your vermilion | G |
| Upon your cheek sat icicles awhile | C |
| Now let the rose reign like a queen and smile | C |
Robert Herrick
