Two Red Roses Across The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB AABB DDBB EEBB EEBB EEBB FGBB HHBBThere was a lady lived in a hall | A |
Large of her eyes and slim and tall | A |
And ever she sung from noon to noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
There was a knight came riding by | C |
In early spring when the roads were dry | C |
And he heard that lady sing at the noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
Yet none the more he stopp'd at all | A |
But he rode a gallop past the hall | A |
And left that lady singing at noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
Because forsooth the battle was set | D |
And the scarlet and blue had got to be met | D |
He rode on the spur till the next warm noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
But the battle was scatter'd from hill to hill | E |
From the windmill to the watermill | E |
And he said to himself as it near'd the noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
You scarce could see for the scarlet and blue | E |
A golden helm or a golden shoe | E |
So he cried as the fight grew thick at the noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
Verily then the gold bore through | E |
The huddled spears of the scarlet and blue | E |
And they cried as they cut them down at the noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
I trow he stopp'd when he rode again | F |
By the hall though draggled sore with the rain | G |
And his lips were pinch'd to kiss at the noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
- | |
Under the may she stoop'd to the crown | H |
All was gold there was nothing of brown | H |
And the horns blew up in the hall at noon | B |
Two red roses across the moon | B |
