Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB DFGFAFEF HADAIAEA| I will not have the mad Clytie | A |
| Whose head is turned by the sun | B |
| The tulip is a courtly queen | C |
| Whom therefore I will shun | B |
| The cowslip is a country wench | D |
| The violet is a nun | B |
| But I will woo the dainty rose | E |
| The queen of everyone | B |
| - | |
| The pea is but a wanton witch | D |
| In too much haste to wed | F |
| And clasps her rings on every hand | G |
| The wolfsbane I should dread | F |
| Nor will I dreary rosemary | A |
| That always mourns the dead | F |
| But I will woo the dainty rose | E |
| With her cheeks of tender red | F |
| - | |
| The lily is all in white like a saint | H |
| And so is no mate for me | A |
| And the daisy's cheek is tipped with blush | D |
| She is of such low degree | A |
| Jasmine is sweet and has many loves | I |
| And the broom's betrothed to the bee | A |
| But I will plight with the dainty rose | E |
| For fairest of all is she | A |
