A Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDFE| Because my love is quick to come and go | A |
| A little here and then a little there | B |
| What use are any words of mine to swear | B |
| My heart is stubborn and my spirit slow | A |
| Of weathering the drip and drive of woe | A |
| What is my oath when you have but to bare | B |
| My little easy loves and I can dare | B |
| Only to shrug and answer They are so | A |
| - | |
| You do not know how heavy a heart it is | C |
| That hangs about my neck a clumsy stone | D |
| Cut with a birth a death a bridal day | E |
| Each time I love I find it still my own | D |
| Who take it now to that lad now to this | F |
| Seeking to give the wretched thing away | E |
