Love Is A Terrible Thing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CB DD CC EE FFF GG HHI went out to the farthest meadow | A |
I lay down in the deepest shadow | A |
- | |
And I said unto the earth Hold me | B |
And unto the night O enfold me | B |
- | |
And unto the wind petulantly | C |
I cried You know not for you are free | B |
- | |
And I begged the little leaves to lean | D |
Low and together for a safe screen | D |
- | |
Then to the stars I told my tale | C |
That is my home light there in the vale | C |
- | |
And O I know that I shall return | E |
But let me lie first mid the unfeeling fern | E |
- | |
For there is a flame that has blown too near | F |
And there is a name that has grown too dear | F |
And there is a fear | F |
- | |
And to the still hills and cool earth and far sky I made moan | G |
The heart in my bosom is not my own | G |
- | |
O would I were free as the wind on wing | H |
Love is a terrible thing | H |
