If Love Were King Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCA ADDAEFA AGGAHHA AHHAIIA AIIAJJA| If Love were king | A |
| That sacred Love which knows not selfish pleasure | B |
| But for its children spends its fondest treasure | B |
| Sad hearts would sing | A |
| And all the hosts of misery and wrong | C |
| Forget their anguish in the happy song | C |
| That joy would bring | A |
| - | |
| If Love were king | A |
| Gaunt wickedness would hide his loathsome features | D |
| And virtue would to all the world's sad creatures | D |
| Her treasures fling | A |
| Till drooping souls would rise above their fate | E |
| And find sweet flowers for all the desolate | F |
| And sorrowing | A |
| - | |
| If Love were king | A |
| Before the scepter of his might should vanish | G |
| Toil's curse and care and happiness should banish | G |
| Want's awful sting | A |
| While laughing plenty from sweet hands would throw | H |
| Delightful raptures over all below | H |
| And gladness bring | A |
| - | |
| If Love were king | A |
| The nations would eternal sunshine borrow | H |
| And conquer all the heavy clouds of sorrow | H |
| And every thing | A |
| That binds the race in groans and agony | I |
| Life's changing seasons would forever be | I |
| Unvaried spring | A |
| - | |
| If Love were king | A |
| O broken feet that wander worn and weary | I |
| Beneath the crags and awful mountains dreary | I |
| With rapture cling | A |
| Your anguished arms about him drink delight | J |
| Upon his perfect bosom soft and white | J |
| And comforting | A |
