Alas! So All Things Now Do Hold Their Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBABDBDBEF

Alas so all things now do hold their peaceA
Heaven and earth disturbed in nothingB
The beasts the air the birds their song do ceaseA
The night e s chare the stars about doth bringB
Calm is the sea the waves work less and lessC
So am not I whom love alas doth wringB
Bringing before my face the great increaseA
Of my desires whereat I weep and singB
In joy and woe as in a doubtful easeD
For my sweet thoughts sometime do pleasure bringB
But by and by the cause of my diseaseD
Gives me a pang that inwardly doth stingB
When that I think what grief it is againE
To live and lack the thing should rid my painF
