A Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Blown in the morning thou shalt fade ere noon | A |
| What boots a life which in such haste forsakes thee | B |
| Thou'rt wondrous frolic being to die so soon | A |
| And passing proud a little colour makes thee | B |
| If thee thy brittle beauty so deceives | C |
| Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane | D |
| For the same beauty doth in bloody leaves | C |
| The sentence of thy early death contain | D |
| Some clown's coarse lungs will poison thy sweet flower | E |
| If by the careless plough thou shalt be torn | F |
| And many Herods lie in wait each hour | E |
| To murder thee as soon as thou art born | F |
| Nay force thy bud to blow their tyrant breath | G |
| Anticipating life to hasten death | G |
