A Dedication. To Charlotte Cushman. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DE D FF| As 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 |
