What Would I Give? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAB CCD EFGWhat would I give for a heart of flesh to warm me through | A |
Instead of this heart of stone ice cold whatever I do | A |
Hard and cold and small of all hearts the worst of all | B |
- | |
What would I give for words if only words would come | C |
But now in its misery my spirit has fallen dumb | C |
O merry friends go your way I have never a word to say | D |
- | |
What would I give for tears not smiles but scalding tears | E |
To wash the black mark clean and to thaw the frost of years | F |
To wash the stain ingrain and to make me clean again | G |
