The Poet's Song To His Wife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIHI JKJKLMLM

HOW many summers loveA
Have I been thineB
How many days thou doveA
Hast thou been mineB
Time like the winged windC
When t bends the flowersD
Hath left no mark behindC
To count the hoursD
-
Some weight of thought though lothE
On thee he leavesF
Some lines of care round bothG
Perhaps he weavesF
Some fears a soft regretH
For joys scarce knownI
Sweet looks we half forgetH
All else is flownI
-
Ah With what thankless heartJ
I mourn and singK
Look where our children startJ
Like sudden SpringK
With tongues all sweet and lowL
Like a pleasant rhymeM
They tell how much I oweL
To thee and TimeM
