The Cold Change Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHIIIn the cold change which time hath wrought on love | A |
The snowy winter of his summer prime | B |
Should a chance sigh or sudden tear drop move | C |
Thy heart to memory of the olden time | B |
Turn not to gaze on me with pitying eyes | D |
Nor mock me with a withered hope renewed | E |
But from the bower we both have loved arise | D |
And leave me to my barren solitude | E |
What boots it that a momentary flame | F |
Shoots from the ashes of a dying fire | G |
We gaze upon the hearth from whence it came | F |
And know the exhausted embers must expire | H |
Therefore no pity or my heart will break | I |
Be cold be careless for thy past love's sake | I |
