To Olivia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDDDEEFGHH| I fear to love thee Sweet because | A |
| Love's the ambassador of loss | B |
| White flake of childhood clinging so | C |
| To my soiled raiment thy shy snow | C |
| At tenderest touch will shrink and go | C |
| Love me not delightful child | D |
| My heart by many snares beguiled | D |
| Has grown timorous and wild | D |
| It would fear thee not at all | E |
| Wert thou not so harmless small | E |
| Because thy arrows not yet dire | F |
| Are still unbarbed with destined fire | G |
| I fear thee more than hadst thou stood | H |
| Full panoplied in womanhood | H |
