Envoy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ABABGo songs for ended is our brief sweet play | A |
Go children of swift joy and tardy sorrow | B |
And some are sung and that was yesterday | A |
And some unsung and that may be to morrow | B |
- | |
Go forth and if it be o'er stony way | A |
Old joy can lend what newer grief must borrow | B |
And it was sweet and that was yesterday | A |
And sweet is sweet though purchas ed with sorrow | B |
- | |
Go songs and come not back from your far way | A |
And if men ask you why ye smile and sorrow | B |
Tell them ye grieve for your hearts know To day | A |
Tell them ye smile for your eyes know To morrow | B |
