Rhyme Scheme: ABABB ACACC ADADD AEAEEShould thy love die | A |
O bury it not under ice blue eyes | B |
And lips that deny | A |
With a scornful surprise | B |
The life it once lived in thy breast when it wore no disguise | B |
- | |
Should thy love die | A |
O bury it where the sweet wild flowers blow | C |
And breezes go by | A |
With no whisper of woe | C |
And strange feet cannot guess of the anguish that slumbers below | C |
- | |
Should thy love die | A |
O wander once more to the haunt of the bee | D |
Where the foliaged sky | A |
Is most sacred to see | D |
And thy being first felt its wild birth like a wind wakened tree | D |
- | |
Should thy love die | A |
O dissemble it smile let the rose hide the thorn | E |
While the lark sings on high | A |
And no thing looks forlorn | E |
Bury it bury it bury it where it was born | E |
