The Primrose. (from The Villager's Verse-book.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG| 'Tis the first primrose see how meek | A |
| Yet beautiful it looks | B |
| As just a lesson it may teach | C |
| As that we read in books | B |
| - | |
| While gardens show in flowering pride | D |
| The lily's stately ranks | E |
| It loves its modest head to hide | D |
| Beneath the bramble banks | E |
| - | |
| And so the little cottage maid | F |
| May bloom unseen and die | G |
| But she when transient flowerets fade | F |
| Shall live with Christ on high | G |
