The Usurer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGGF HHIIJJKKLLMM

Fate says and flaunts her stores of goldA
I'll loan you happiness untoldA
What is it you desire of meB
A perfect hour in which to beB
In love with life and glad and goodC
The bliss of being understoodC
Amid life's cares a little spaceD
To feast your eyes upon a faceD
The whispered word the love filled toneE
The warmth of lips that meet your ownE
To day of Fate you borrowF
In hunger of the heart and painG
In loneliness and longing vainG
You pay the debt to morrowF
-
Prince let grim Fate take what she willH
Of treasures rare of joys that thrillH
Enact the cruel usurer's partI
Leave empty arms and hungry heartI
Take what she can of love and trustJ
Take all life's gladness if she mustJ
Take meeting smile and parting kissK
The benediction and the blissK
What then The fairest thing of allL
Is ours O Prince beyond recallL
Not even Fate would dare to seizeM
Our store of golden memoriesM
