Look Not In My Eyes, For Fear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIHI| Look not in my eyes for fear | A |
| They mirror true the sight I see | B |
| And there you find your face too clear | A |
| And love it and be lost like me | B |
| One the long nights through must lie | C |
| Spent in star defeated sighs | D |
| But why should you as well as I | C |
| Perish gaze not in my eyes | D |
| A Grecian lad as I hear tell | E |
| One that many loved in vain | F |
| Looked into a forest well | E |
| And never looked away again | G |
| There when the turf in springtime flowers | H |
| With downward eye and gazes sad | I |
| Stands amid the glancing showers | H |
| A jonquil not a Grecian lad | I |
