True Love And New Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFGE HIJJHI| OVER the meadow and down the lane | A |
| To the gate by the twisted thorn | B |
| Your feet should know each turn of the way | C |
| You trod so many many a day | C |
| Before the old love was put out of its pain | A |
| Before the new love was born | B |
| - | |
| Kiss her hold her and fold her close | D |
| Tell her the old true tale | E |
| You ought to know each turn of the phrase | F |
| You learned them all in the poor old days | F |
| Before the birth of the new red rose | G |
| Before the old rose grew pale | E |
| - | |
| And do not fear I shall creep to night | H |
| To make a third at your tryst | I |
| My ghost if it walked would only wait | J |
| To scare the others away from the gate | J |
| Where you teach your new love the old delight | H |
| With the lips that your old love kissed | I |
