Three Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GCGC GHGH IGJG| I made a little song about the rose | A |
| And sang it for the rose to hear | B |
| Nor ever marked until the music's close | C |
| A lily that was listening near | D |
| - | |
| The red red rose flushed redder with delight | E |
| And like a queen her head she raised | F |
| The white white lily blanched a paler white | E |
| For anger that she was not praised | F |
| - | |
| Turning I left the rose unto her pride | G |
| The lily to her enviousness | C |
| And soon upon the grassy ground espied | G |
| A daisy all companionless | C |
| - | |
| Doubtless no flattered flower is this I deemed | G |
| And not so graciously it grew | H |
| As rose or lily but methought it seemed | G |
| More thankful for the sun and dew | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Dear love my sweet small flower that grew'st among | I |
| The grass from all the flowers apart | G |
| Forgive me that I gave the rose my song | J |
| Ere thou the daisy hadst my heart | G |
