Love-s Wisdom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDCDCD| Now on the summit of Love's topmost peak | A |
| Kiss we and part no farther can we go | B |
| And better death than we from high to low | B |
| Should dwindle or decline from strong to weak | A |
| We have found all there is no more to seek | A |
| All have we proved no more is there to know | B |
| And Time could only tutor us to eke | A |
| Out rapture's warmth with custom's afterglow | B |
| We cannot keep at such a height as this | C |
| And even straining souls like ours inhale | D |
| But once in life so rarefied a bliss | C |
| What if we lingered till love's breath should fail | D |
| Heaven of my Earth one more celestial kiss | C |
| Then down by separate pathways to the vale | D |
