Song Of The Violet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLGLA humble flower long time I pined | A |
Upon the solitary plain | B |
And trembled at the angry wind | A |
And shrunk before the bitter rain | B |
And oh 'twas in a blessed hour | C |
A passing wanderer chanced to see | D |
And pitying the lonely flower | C |
To stoop and gather me | D |
- | |
I fear no more the tempest rude | E |
On dreary heath no more I pine | F |
But left my cheerless solitude | E |
To deck the breast of Caroline | F |
Alas our days are brief at best | G |
Nor long I fear will mine endure | H |
Though shelter'd here upon a breast | G |
So gentle and so pure | H |
- | |
It draws the fragrance from my leaves | I |
It robs me of my sweetest breath | J |
And every time it falls and heaves | I |
It warns me of my coming death | J |
But one I know would glad forego | K |
All joys of life to be as I | L |
An hour to rest on that sweet breast | G |
And then contented die | L |
