Love Is Not All Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHI| Love is not all it is not meat nor drink | A |
| Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain | B |
| Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink | A |
| And rise and sink and rise and sink again | C |
| Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath | D |
| Nor clean the blood nor set the fractured bone | E |
| Yet many a man is making friends with death | D |
| Even as I speak for lack of love alone | E |
| It well may be that in a difficult hour | F |
| Pinned down by pain and moaning for release | G |
| Or nagged by want past resolution's power | F |
| I might be driven to sell your love for peace | G |
| Or trade the memory of this night for food | H |
| It well may be I do not think I would | I |
