The Nettles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB CDD EFF BGGThis then is the grave of my son | A |
Whose heart she won And nettles grow | B |
Upon his mound and she lives just below | B |
- | |
How he upbraided me and left | C |
And our lives were cleft because I said | D |
She was hard unfeeling caring but to wed | D |
- | |
Well to see this sight I have fared these miles | E |
And her firelight smiles from her window there | F |
Whom he left his mother to cherish with tender care | F |
- | |
It is enough I'll turn and go | B |
Yes nettles grow where lone lies he | G |
Who spurned me for seeing what he could not see | G |
