The Faded Flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDCEFEFGH| Ungrateful he who pluck'd thee from thy stalk | A |
| Poor faded flow'ret on his careless way | B |
| Inhal'd awhile thy odours on his walk | A |
| Then onward pass'd and left thee to decay | B |
| Ah melancholy emblem had I seen | C |
| Thy modest beauties dew'd with Evening's gem | D |
| I had not rudely cropp'd thy parent stem | D |
| But left thee blushing 'mid the enliven'd green | C |
| And now I bend me o'er thy wither'd bloom | E |
| And drop the tear as Fancy at my side | F |
| Deep sighing points the fair frail Abra's tomb | E |
| 'Like thine sad Flower was that poor wanderer's pride | F |
| Oh lost to Love and Truth whose selfish joy | G |
| Tasted her vernal sweets but tasted to destroy ' | H |
