The Growth Of Love Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBCCBEFGHCC| XI | A |
| Belov egrave d those who moan of love's brief day | B |
| Shall find but little grace with me I guess | C |
| Who know too well this passion's tenderness | D |
| To deem that it shall lightly pass away | B |
| A moment's interlude in life's dull play | B |
| Though many loves have lingered to distress | C |
| So shall not ours sweet Lady ne'ertheless | C |
| But deepen with us till both heads be grey | B |
| For perfect love is like a fair green plant | E |
| That fades not with its blossoms but lives on | F |
| And gentle lovers shall not come to want | G |
| Though fancy with its first mad dream be gone | H |
| Sweet is the flower whose radiant glory flies | C |
| But sweeter still the green that never dies | C |
