All Lovely Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAFGFG| All lovely things will have an ending | A |
| All lovely things will fade and die | B |
| And youth that's now so bravely spending | A |
| Will beg a penny by and by | B |
| Fine ladies soon are all forgotten | C |
| And goldenrod is dust when dead | D |
| The sweetest flesh and flowers are rotten | C |
| And cobwebs tent the brightest head | D |
| Come back true love Sweet youth return | E |
| But time goes on and will unheeding | A |
| Though hands will reach and eyes will yearn | E |
| And the wild days set true hearts bleeding | A |
| Come back true love Sweet youth remain | F |
| But goldenrod and daisies wither | G |
| And over them blows autumn rain | F |
| They pass they pass and know not whither | G |
