Think Not, Not For A Moment Let Your Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| Think 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 |
