Hesperides Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCBBBBDEBBFFGGHH| If thy soul Herrick dwelt with me | A |
| This is what my songs would be | A |
| Hints of our sea breezes blent | B |
| With odors from the Orient | B |
| Indian vessels deep with spice | C |
| Star showers from the Norland ice | C |
| Wine red jewels that seem to hold | B |
| Fire but only burn with cold | B |
| Antique goblets strangely wrought | B |
| Filled with the wine of happy thought | B |
| Bridal measure vain regrets | D |
| Laburnum buds and violets | E |
| Hopeful as the break of day | B |
| Clear as crystal new as May | B |
| Musical as brooks that run | F |
| O'er yellow shallows in the sun | F |
| Soft as the satin fringe that shades | G |
| The eyelids of thy Devon maids | G |
| Brief as thy lyrics Herrick are | H |
| And polished as the bosom of a star | H |
