Love's Blindness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDCDCD| Now do I know that Love is blind for I | A |
| Can see no beauty on this beauteous earth | B |
| No life no light no hopefulness no mirth | B |
| Pleasure nor purpose when thou art not nigh | A |
| Thy absence exiles sunshine from the sky | A |
| Seres Spring's maturity checks Summer's birth | B |
| Leaves linnet's pipe as sad as plover's cry | A |
| And makes me in abundance find but dearth | B |
| But when thy feet flutter the dark and thou | C |
| With orient eyes dawnest on my distress | D |
| Suddenly sings a bird on every bough | C |
| The heavens expand the earth grows less and less | D |
| The ground is buoyant as the ether now | C |
| And all looks lovely in thy loveliness | D |
