Primroses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| They shine upon my table there | A |
| A constellation mimic sweet | B |
| No stars in Heaven could shine more fair | A |
| Nor Earth has beauty more complete | B |
| And on my table there they shine | C |
| And speak to me of things Divine | C |
| - | |
| In Heaven at first they grew and when | D |
| God could no fairer make them He | E |
| Did plant them by the ways of men | D |
| For all the pure in heart to see | E |
| That each might shine upon its stem | F |
| And be a light from Him to them | F |
| - | |
| They speak of things above my verse | G |
| Of thoughts no earthly language knows | H |
| That loftiest Bard could ne'er rehearse | G |
| Nor holiest prophet e'er disclose | H |
| Which God Himself no other way | I |
| Than by a Primrose could convey | I |
