Pricking Thorns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCD EFFEGHGH IJJIKLKL| My spirit to day that sprang | A |
| To meet the laughing morn | B |
| Is clouded and forlorn | B |
| And chafes with hidden pang | A |
| For teasing care and fret | C |
| Stifle her sweet desire | D |
| And with small dust beset | C |
| Her eager fire | D |
| - | |
| Not so my darkened breast | E |
| Deep in its depth was stirred | F |
| When Sorrow the dusky bird | F |
| With me prepared her nest | E |
| I on her wing would rise | G |
| And over city and sea | H |
| Voyage with gazing eyes | G |
| Mournful yet free | H |
| - | |
| Then from these pricking thorns | I |
| I pluck an omen bright | J |
| Since most their trivial spite | J |
| The soul indignant scorns | I |
| With joy vast as despair | K |
| Alone she mates I know | L |
| And born to an ample air | K |
| Claims a great foe | L |
