The Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDC EFEF CCCC

When Love arose in heart and deedA
To wake the world to greater joyB
'What can she give me now ' said GreedA
Who thought to win some costly toyB
-
He rose he ran he stoop'd he clutch'dC
And soon the Flowers that Love let fallD
In Greed's hot grasp were fray'd and smutch'dC
And Greed said 'Flowers Can this be all '-
-
He flung them down and went his wayE
He cared no jot for thyme or roseF
But boys and girls came out to playE
And some took these and some took thoseF
-
Red blue and white and green and goldC
And at their touch the dew return'dC
And all the bloom a thousandfoldC
So red so ripe the roses burn'dC
