If I Could Only Weep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCA ADDA AEFAIf I could only weep | A |
I think sweet help with my salt tears would come | B |
To ease the cruel pain that is so dumb | B |
And will not let me sleep | A |
- | |
Down in my heart down deep | A |
A poisoned arrow burns It would fall out | C |
And tears would wash the wound I have no doubt | C |
If I could only weep | A |
- | |
Maybe my pulse would leap | A |
And bring one thrill back of a vanished day | D |
Instead of throbbing in this dull dead way | D |
If I could only weep | A |
- | |
O silent Fates who steep | A |
Nectar or gall for us through all the years | E |
Take what thou wilt but give me back my tears | F |
And let me weep and weep | A |
