Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACDEDEFGFGDHDHIIJ| O who will give me tears Come all ye springs | A |
| Dwell in my head and eyes come clouds | B |
| and rain | C |
| My grief hath need of all the watery things | A |
| That nature hath produced let every vein | C |
| Suck up a river to supply mine eyes | D |
| My weary weeping eyes too dry for me | E |
| Unless they get new conduits new supplies | D |
| To bear them out and with my state agree | E |
| What are two shallow fords two little spouts | F |
| Of a less world the greater is but small | G |
| A narrow cupboard for my griefs and doubts | F |
| Which want provision in the midst of all | G |
| Verses ye are too fine a thing too wise | D |
| For my rough sorrows cease be dumb and mute | H |
| Give up your feet and running to mine eyes | D |
| And keep your measures for some lover's lute | H |
| Whose grief allows him music and a rhyme | I |
| For mine excludes both measure tune and time | I |
| Alas my God | J |
