Karolin's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFGHHFG| Though I am young and cannot tell | A |
| Either what love or death is well | A |
| Yet I have heard yet both bear darts | B |
| And both do aim at human hearts | B |
| And then again I have been told | C |
| Love wounds with heat as death with cold | C |
| So that I fear they do but bring | D |
| Extremes to touch and mean one thing | D |
| - | |
| As in a ruin we it call | E |
| One thing to be blown up or fall | E |
| Or to our end like way may have | F |
| By a flash of lightning or a wave | G |
| So love's inflamed shaft or brand | H |
| May kill as soon as death's cold hand | H |
| Except love's fires the virtue have | F |
| To fright the frost from out the grave | G |
