Love's Distresses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEDFGDFDHGIJK| WHO will hear me Whom shall I lament to | A |
| Who would pity me that heard my sorrows | B |
| Ah the lip that erst so many raptures | B |
| Used to taste and used to give responsive | C |
| Now is cloven and it pains me sorely | D |
| And it is not thus severely wounded | E |
| By my mistress having caught me fiercely | D |
| And then gently bitten me intending | F |
| To secure her friend more firmly to her | G |
| No my tender lip is crack'd thus only | D |
| By the winds o'er rime and frost proceeding | F |
| Pointed sharp unloving having met me | D |
| Now the noble grape's bright juice commingled | H |
| With the bee's sweet juice upon the fire | G |
| Of my hearth shall ease me of my torment | I |
| Ah what use will all this be if with it | J |
| Love adds not a drop of his own balsam | K |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
