An Old Saying Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCABDEDEFGDE| Many waters cannot quench love | A |
| Neither can the floods drown it | B |
| Who shall snare or slay the white dove | A |
| Faith whose very dreams crown it | B |
| Gird it round with grace and peace deep | C |
| Warm and pure and soft as sweet sleep | C |
| Many waters cannot quench love | A |
| Neither can the floods drown it | B |
| Set me as a seal upon thine heart | D |
| As a seal upon thine arm | E |
| How should we behold the days depart | D |
| And the nights resign their charm | E |
| Love is as the soul though hate and fear | F |
| Waste and overthrow they strike not here | G |
| Set me as a seal upon thine heart | D |
| As a seal upon thine arm | E |
