A Dedication To Charlotte Cushman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DE D FFAs Love will carve dear names upon a tree | A |
Symbol of gravure on his heart to be | A |
- | |
So thought I thine with loving text to set | B |
In the growth and substance of my canzonet | B |
- | |
But writing it my tears begin to fall | C |
This wild rose stem for thy large name's too small | C |
- | |
Nay still my trembling hands are fain are fain | D |
Cut the good letters though they lap again | E |
- | |
Perchance such folk as mark the blur and stain | D |
Will say 'It was the beating of the rain ' | - |
- | |
Or haply these o'er woundings of the stem | F |
May loose some little balm to plead for them | F |
