Song Of The Violet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLGL| A 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 |
