To His Saviour, A Child; A Present, By A Child Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCDDEEFFGHIEGo pretty child and bear this flower | A |
Unto thy little Saviour | A |
And tell him by that bud now blown | B |
He is the Rose of Sharon known | B |
When thou hast said so stick it there | A |
Upon his bib or stomacher | A |
And tell him for good handsel too | C |
That thou hast brought a whistle new | C |
Made of a clean straight oaten reed | D |
To charm his cries at time of need | D |
Tell him for coral thou hast none | E |
But if thou hadst he should have one | E |
But poor thou art and known to be | F |
Even as moneyless as he | F |
Lastly if thou canst win a kiss | G |
From those mellifluous lips of his | H |
Then never take a second on | I |
To spoil the first impression | E |
Robert Herrick
