Don't Tell The World That You're Waiting For Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC ADADCCCC| THREE summers have gone since the first time we met love | A |
| And still 'tis in vain that I ask thee to wed | B |
| I hear no reply but a gentle Not yet love | A |
| With a smile of your lip and a shake of your head | B |
| Ah how oft have I whispered how oft have I sued thee | C |
| And breathed my soul's question of When shall it be | C |
| You know dear how long and how truly I've wooed thee | C |
| So don't tell the world that you're waiting for me | C |
| - | |
| I have fashioned a home where the fairies might dwell love | A |
| I've planted the myrtle the rose and the vine | D |
| But the cottage to me is a mere hermit's cell love | A |
| And the bloom will be dull till the flowers are thine | D |
| I've a ring of bright gold which I gaze on when lonely | C |
| And sigh with Hope's eloquence When will it be | C |
| There needs but thy Yes love one little word only | C |
| So don't tell the world that you're waiting for me | C |
