The Shower Of Blossoms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEFGGHHIILove in a shower of blossoms came | A |
Down and half drown'd me with the same | A |
The blooms that fell were white and red | B |
But with such sweets commingled | C |
As whether this I cannot tell | D |
My sight was pleased more or my smell | D |
But true it was as I roll'd there | E |
Without a thought of hurt or fear | F |
Love turn'd himself into a bee | G |
And with his javelin wounded me | G |
From which mishap this use I make | H |
Where most sweets are there lies a snake | H |
Kisses and favours are sweet things | I |
But those have thorns and these have stings | I |
Robert Herrick
