The Shower Of Blossoms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEFGGHHII| Love 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 |
