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 mindA
Wearied with thinking doze upon the thoughtB
That the work's done and the long day behindA
And beauty since 'tis paid for can be boughtC
If in the moonlight from the silent boughD
Suddenly with precision speak your nameE
The nightingale be not assured that nowD
His wing is limed and his wild virtue tameE
Beauty beyond all feathers that have flownF
Is free you shall not hood her to your wristG
Nor sting her eyes nor have her for your ownF
In an fashion beauty billed and kissedG
Is not your turtle tread her like a doveH
She loves you not she never heard of loveH
