The Sunken Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBAA AACCDDEEAAAA| Speak not whisper not | A |
| Here bloweth thyme and bergamot | A |
| Softly on the evening hour | B |
| Secret herbs their spices shower | B |
| Dark spiked rosemary and myrrh | B |
| Lean stalked purple lavender | B |
| Hides within her bosom too | A |
| All her sorrows bitter rue | A |
| - | |
| Breathe not trespass not | A |
| Of this green and darkling spot | A |
| Latticed from the moon's beams | C |
| Perchance a distant dreamer dreams | C |
| Perchance upon its darkening air | D |
| The unseen ghosts of children fare | D |
| Faintly swinging sway and sweep | E |
| Like lovely sea flowers in its deep | E |
| While unmoved to watch and ward | A |
| 'Mid its gloomed and daisied sward | A |
| Stands with bowed and dewy head | A |
| That one little leaden Lad | A |
