Thou Art Not False, But Thou Art Fickle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBB CBCBDD EFEGDD HBHBII| Thou art not false but thou art fickle | A |
| To those thyself so fondly sought | B |
| The tears that thou hast forced to trickle | A |
| Are doubly bitter from that thought | B |
| 'Tis this which breaks the heart thou grievest | B |
| Too well thou lov'st too soon thou leavest | B |
| - | |
| The wholly false the heart despises | C |
| And spurns deceiver and deceit | B |
| But she who not a thought disguises | C |
| Whose love is as sincere as sweet | B |
| When she can change who loved so truly | D |
| It feels what mine has felt so newly | D |
| - | |
| To dream of joy and wake to sorrow | E |
| Is doom'd to all who love or live | F |
| And if when conscious on the morrow | E |
| We scarce our fancy can forgive | G |
| That cheated us in slumber only | D |
| To leave the waking soul more lonely | D |
| - | |
| What must they feel whom no false vision | H |
| But truest tenderest passion warm'd | B |
| Sincere but swift in sad transition | H |
| As if a dream alone had charm'd | B |
| Ah sure such grief is fancy's scheming | I |
| And all thy change can be but dreaming | I |
George Gordon Byron
