Love-s Fitfulness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| You say that I am fitful Sweet 'tis true | A |
| But 'tis that I your fitfulness obey | B |
| If you are April how can I be May | B |
| Or flaunt bright roses when you wear sad rue | A |
| Shine like the sun and my sky will be blue | A |
| Sing and the lark shall envy me my lay | B |
| I do but follow where you point the way | B |
| And what I feel you doing straight must do | A |
| The wind might just as well reproach the vane | C |
| As you upbraid me for my shiftings dear | D |
| Blow from the south and south I shall remain | C |
| If you keep fixed be sure I shall not veer | D |
| Nay on your change my changes so depend | E |
| If ends your love why then my love must end | E |
