O, Were I Loved As I Desire To Be! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDAEFEGA| O were I loved as I desire to be | A |
| What is there in the great sphere of the earth | B |
| Or range of evil between death and birth | B |
| That I should fear if I were loved by thee | A |
| All the inner all the outer world of pain | C |
| Clear love would pierce and cleave if thou wert mine | D |
| As I have heard that somewhere in the main | C |
| Fresh water springs come up through bitter brine | D |
| 'I were joy not fear clasped hand in hand with thee | A |
| To wait for death mute careless of all ills | E |
| Apart upon a mountain though the surge | F |
| Of some new deluge from a thousand hills | E |
| Flung leagues of roaring foam into the gorge | G |
| Below us as far on as eye could see | A |
