The False Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| They laid their hands upon my head | A |
| They stroked my cheek and brow | B |
| And time could heal a hurt they said | A |
| And time could dim a vow | B |
| - | |
| And they were pitiful and mild | C |
| Who whispered to me then | D |
| The heart that breaks in April child | C |
| Will mend in May again | D |
| - | |
| Oh many a mended heart they knew | E |
| So old they were and wise | F |
| And little did they have to do | E |
| To come to me with lies | F |
| - | |
| Who flings me silly talk of May | G |
| Shall meet a bitter soul | H |
| For June was nearly spent away | G |
| Before my heart was whole | H |
