If I Could Only Weep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCA ADDA AEFA| If 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 |
