The Nettles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB CDD EFF BGG| This 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 |
