Spiritual Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHHHIJ| Could you but give me all that I desire | A |
| I should be richer and you no more poor | B |
| Companionship beside the household fire | A |
| And common cares that train one to endure | C |
| 'Tis not your senses but your self I want | D |
| Kinship of vision sympathy of mind | E |
| That so the bond be based on adamant | F |
| And Love made fast by sanctities that bind | E |
| Yet do not think insensible my gaze | G |
| To delicate loveliness of form and face | H |
| But that I covet in the same embrace | H |
| The Spirit's yearnings with the body's grace | H |
| Give me all these and add with lengthening years | I |
| The sweet sad smile and piety of tears | J |
