Why? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDEAD| Lord if I love Thee and Thou lovest me | A |
| Why need I any more these toilsome days | B |
| Why should I not run singing up Thy ways | B |
| Straight into heaven to rest myself with Thee | A |
| What need remains of death pang yet to be | A |
| If all my soul is quickened in Thy praise | B |
| If all my heart loves Thee what need the amaze | B |
| Struggle and dimness of an agony | A |
| Bride whom I love if thou too lovest Me | A |
| Thou needs must choose My Likeness for thy dower | C |
| So wilt thou toil in patience and abide | D |
| Hungering and thirsting for that blessed hour | E |
| When I My Likeness shall behold in thee | A |
| And thou therein shalt waken satisfied | D |
