Love's Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| Love gives us copious potions of delight | A |
| Of pain and ecstasy and peace and care | B |
| Love leads us upward to the mountain height | A |
| And like an angel stands beside us there | B |
| Then thrusts us demon like in some abyss | C |
| Where in the darkness of despair we grope | D |
| Till suddenly Love greets us with a kiss | C |
| And guides us back to flowery fields of hope | D |
| - | |
| Love makes all wisdom seem but poorest folly | E |
| And yet the simplest mind with Love grows wise | F |
| The gayest heart he teaches melancholy | E |
| Yet glorifies the erstwhile brooding eyes | F |
| Love lives on change and yet at change Love mocks | G |
| For Love's whole life is one great paradox | G |
