Think Not, Not For A Moment Let Your Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHHThink not not for a moment let your mind | A |
Wearied with thinking doze upon the thought | B |
That the work's done and the long day behind | A |
And beauty since 'tis paid for can be bought | C |
If in the moonlight from the silent bough | D |
Suddenly with precision speak your name | E |
The nightingale be not assured that now | D |
His wing is limed and his wild virtue tame | E |
Beauty beyond all feathers that have flown | F |
Is free you shall not hood her to your wrist | G |
Nor sting her eyes nor have her for your own | F |
In an fashion beauty billed and kissed | G |
Is not your turtle tread her like a dove | H |
She loves you not she never heard of love | H |
