In Memoriam A. H. H.: 16. I Envy Not In Any Moods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFGGF HIJH

I envy not in any moodsA
The captive void of noble rageB
The linnet born within the cageB
That never knew the summer woodsC
I envy not the beast that takesD
His license in the field of timeE
Unfetter'd by the sense of crimeE
To whom a conscience never wakesD
Nor what may count itself as blestF
The heart that never plighted trothG
But stagnates in the weeds of slothG
Nor any want begotten restF
-
I hold it true whate'er befallH
I feel it when I sorrow mostI
'Tis better to have loved and lostJ
Than never to have loved at allH

Alfred Lord Tennyson
