The Sadness Of Things For Sappho's Sickness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCC| Lilies will languish violets look ill | A |
| Sickly the primrose pale the daffodil | A |
| That gallant tulip will hang down his head | B |
| Like to a virgin newly ravished | B |
| Pansies will weep and marigolds will wither | C |
| And keep a fast and funeral together | C |
| Sappho droop daisies will open never | C |
| But bid good night and close their lids for ever | C |
