Violets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDF GG| Violets in what pleasant earth you grew | A |
| I know not nor what heavenly moisture stole | B |
| To tincture in your petals such dim blue | A |
| As seems a pure June midnight's scented soul | B |
| - | |
| But on her bosom when you breathed so sweet | C |
| You were as lovely words to thoughts that rose | D |
| So deep in us no language could complete | C |
| Their sense nor half their tenderness unclose | D |
| - | |
| Love in such thoughts forever freshly flowers | D |
| They neither ask nor answer only give | E |
| Their charm up to the kind and unkind hours | D |
| Born of that beauty in whose light we live | F |
| - | |
| Whose grace is past all probing of our wit | G |
| And sweetens even the hand that bruises it | G |
