Ruth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA DDEE FFGG HHIJ| She stood breast high amid the corn | A |
| Clasp'd by the golden light of morn | A |
| Like the sweetheart of the sun | B |
| Who many a glowing kiss had won | B |
| - | |
| On her cheek an autumn flush | C |
| Deeply ripen'd such a blush | C |
| In the midst of brown was born | A |
| Like red poppies grown with corn | A |
| - | |
| Round her eyes her tresses fell | D |
| Which were blackest none could tell | D |
| But long lashes veil'd a light | E |
| That had else been all too bright | E |
| - | |
| And her hat with shady brim | F |
| Made her tressy forehead dim | F |
| Thus she stood amid the stooks | G |
| Praising God with sweetest looks | G |
| - | |
| Sure I said Heav'n did not mean | H |
| Where I reap thou shouldst but glean | H |
| Lay thy sheaf adown and come | I |
| Share my harvest and my home | J |
