Time Steals From Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AADBAC

Time steals from Love all but Love's wingsA
And how should aught but evil thingsA
Or any good but death befallB
Him that is thrall unto Time's thrallB
Slave to the lesser of these KingsA
-
O heart of youth that wakes and singsA
O golden vows and golden ringsA
Life mocks you with the tale of allB
Time steals from LoveC
-
O riven lute and writhen stringsA
Dead bough whereto no blossom clingsA
The glory was ephemeralD
Nor may our Autumn grief recallB
The passion of the perished SpringsA
Time steals from LoveC
