Only Roses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABBAA ACCADDBBAA

To a garden full of posiesA
Cometh one to gather flowersA
And he wanders through its bowersA
Toying with the wanton rosesA
Who uprising from their bedsA
Hold on high their shameless headsA
With their pretty lips a poutingB
Never doubting never doubtingB
That for Cytherean posiesA
He would gather aught but rosesA
-
In a nest of weeds and nettlesA
Lay a violet half hiddenC
Hoping that his glance unbiddenC
Yet might fall upon her petalsA
Though she lived alone apartD
Hope lay nestling at her heartD
But alas the cruel awakingB
Set her little heart a breakingB
For he gathered for his posiesA
Only roses only rosesA
