To The Rose Upon The Rood Of Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF GGHHIIJJKKAA| Red Rose proud Rose sad Rose of all my days | A |
| Come near me while I sing the ancient ways | A |
| Cuchulain battling with the bitter tide | B |
| The Druid grey wood nurtured quiet eyed | B |
| Who cast round Fergus dreams and ruin untold | C |
| And thine own sadness where of stars grown old | C |
| In dancing silver sandalled on the sea | D |
| Sing in their high and lonely melody | D |
| Come near that no more blinded hy man's fate | E |
| I find under the boughs of love and hate | E |
| In all poor foolish things that live a day | F |
| Eternal beauty wandering on her way | F |
| - | |
| Come near come near come near Ah leave me still | G |
| A little space for the rose breath to fill | G |
| Lest I no more bear common things that crave | H |
| The weak worm hiding down in its small cave | H |
| The field mouse running by me in the grass | I |
| And heavy mortal hopes that toil and pass | I |
| But seek alone to hear the strange things said | J |
| By God to the bright hearts of those long dead | J |
| And learn to chaunt a tongue men do not know | K |
| Come near I would before my time to go | K |
| Sing of old Eire and the ancient ways | A |
| Red Rose proud Rose sad Rose of all my days | A |
