To Tochterchen: On Her Birthday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABCADAEDAE| As one doth touch a flower wherein the dew | A |
| Trembles to fall as one unplaits the ply | B |
| Of morning gossamer so tenderly | C |
| My spirit touches thine Yet daughter true | A |
| And fair great Launcelot's mighty nerve and thew | A |
| Best clove a king or caught a butterfly | B |
| Since each extreme is perfect mastery | C |
| Accurate cause repaid in the fine due | A |
| Of just effect and child it should be so | D |
| With Love The same that nicely plundereth | A |
| The honeyed zephyrs for thy cates and wine | E |
| Should train thee with the tasks of toil and woe | D |
| Or hold thee against adverse life and death | A |
| Or give thee from my breast to dearer arms than mine | E |
