Love Is A Terrible Thing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CB DD CC EE FFF GG HH| I 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 |
