Sweet Love, Sweet Thorn, When Lightly To My Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Sweet love sweet thorn when lightly to my heart | A |
| I took your thrust whereby I since am slain | B |
| And lie disheveled in the grass apart | A |
| A sodden thing bedrenched by tears and rain | B |
| While rainy evening drips to misty night | C |
| And misty night to cloudy morning clears | D |
| And clouds disperse across the gathering light | C |
| And birds grow noisy and the sun appears | D |
| Had I bethought me then sweet love sweet thorn | E |
| How sharp an anguish even at the best | F |
| When all's requited and the future sworn | E |
| The happy Hour can leave within the breast | F |
| I had not so come running at the call | G |
| Of one whoe loves me little if at all | G |
