Love-s Harvest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Nay do not quarrel with the seasons dear | A |
| Nor make an enemy of friendly Time | B |
| The fruit and foliage of the failing year | A |
| Rival the buds and blossoms of its prime | B |
| Is not the harvest moon as round and bright | C |
| As that to which the nightingales did sing | D |
| And thou that call'st thyself my satellite | C |
| Wilt seem in Autumn all thou art in Spring | D |
| When steadfast sunshine follows fitful rain | E |
| And gleams the sickle where once passed the plough | F |
| Since tender green hath grown to mellow grain | E |
| Love then will gather what it scattereth now | F |
| And like contented reaper rest its head | G |
| Upon the sheaves itself hath harvested | H |
