Youth And Lordship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADADDEAFGFHAHAAH AIJIKAKAAKADLDDMDMMD ANON

MY young lord's the loverA
Of earth and sky aboveB
Of youth's sway and youth's playC
Of songs and flowers and loveB
Yet for love's desireA
Green youth lacks the daringD
Though one dream of fireA
All his hours ensnaringD
Burns the boy past bearingD
The dream that girls inspireE
My young lord's the loverA
Of every burning thoughtF
That Love's will that Love's skillG
Within his breast has wroughtF
Lovely girl look on himH
Soft as music's measureA
Yield him when you've won himH
Joys and toys at pleasureA
But to win your treasureA
Softly look upon himH
My young lord's the loverA
Of every tender graceI
That woman to woo manJ
Can wear in form or faceI
Take him to your bosomK
Now girl or neverA
Let not your new blossomK
Of sweet kisses severA
Only guard for everA
Your boast within your bosomK
My young lord's the loverA
Of every secret thingD
Love hidden love biddenL
This day to banquetingD
Lovely girl with vauntingD
Never tempt to morrowM
From all shapes enchantingD
Any joy can borrowM
Still the spectre SorrowM
Rises up for hauntingD
And now my lord's the loverA
Of ah so many a sweetN
Of roses of spousesO
As many as love may greetN
