The Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGD HHIIJKII| I go through wet spring woods alone | A |
| Through sweet green woods with heart of stone | A |
| My weary foot upon the grass | B |
| Falls heavy as I pass | B |
| The cuckoo from the distance cries | C |
| The lark a pilgrim in the skies | C |
| But all the pleasant spring is drear | D |
| I want you dear | D |
| - | |
| I pass the summer meadows by | E |
| The autumn poppies bloom and die | E |
| I speak alone so bitterly | F |
| For no voice answers me | F |
| O lovers parting by the gate | G |
| O robin singing to your mate | G |
| Plead you well for she will hear | D |
| 'I love you dear ' | - |
| - | |
| I crouch alone unsatisfied | H |
| Mourning by winter's fireside | H |
| O Fate what evil wind you blow | I |
| Must this be so | I |
| No southern breezes come to bless | J |
| So conscious of their emptiness | K |
| My lonely arms I spread in woe | I |
| I want you so | I |
