Meditation For His Mistress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCD EEE FFF GHH IJJ

You are a Tulip seen to dayA
But Dearest of so short a stayA
That where you grew scarce man can sayA
-
You are a lovely July flowerB
Yet one rude wind or ruffling showerB
Will force you hence and in an hourB
-
You are a sparkling Rose i'th' budC
Yet lost ere that chaste flesh and bloodC
Can show where you or grew or stoodD
-
You are a full spread fair set VineE
And can with tendrils love entwineE
Yet dried ere you distil your wineE
-
You are like Balm enclosed wellF
In amber or some crystal shellF
Yet lost ere you transfuse your smellF
-
You are a dainty VioletG
Yet wither'd ere you can be setH
Within the virgins coronetH
-
You are the Queen all flowers amongI
But die you must fair maid ere longJ
As he the maker of this songJ

Robert Herrick
