Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDFDI never gave a lock of hair away | A |
To a man Dearest except this to thee | B |
Which now upon my fingers thoughtfully | B |
I ring out to the full brown length and say | A |
' Take it ' My day of youth went yesterday | A |
My hair no longer bounds to my foot's glee | B |
Nor plant I it from rose or myrtle tree | B |
As girls do any more it only may | A |
Now shade on two pale cheeks the mark of tears | C |
Taught drooping from the head that hangs aside | D |
Through sorrow's trick I thought the funeral shears | E |
Would take this first but Love is justified | D |
Take it thou finding pure from all those years | F |
The kiss my mother left here when she died | D |
