Xxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Is it indeed so If I lay here dead | A |
| Wouldst thou miss any life in losing mine | B |
| And would the sun for thee more coldly shine | B |
| Because of grave damps falling round my head | A |
| I marvelled my Beloved when I read | A |
| Thy thought so in the letter I am thine | B |
| But so much to thee Can I pour thy wine | B |
| While my hands tremble Then my soul instead | A |
| Of dreams of death resumes life's lower range | C |
| Then love me Love look on me breathe on me | D |
| As brighter ladies do not count it strange | C |
| For love to give up acres and degree | D |
| I yield the grave for thy sake and exchange | C |
| My near sweet view of Heaven for earth with thee | D |
