A World For Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG HHII JJKK| Oh the world is all too rude for thee with much ado and care | A |
| Oh this world is but a rude world and hurts a thing so fair | A |
| Was there a nook in which the world had never been to sear | B |
| That place would prove a paradise when thou and Love were near | B |
| - | |
| And there to pluck the blackberry and there to reach the sloe | C |
| How joyously and happily would Love thy partner go | C |
| Then rest when weary on a bank where not a grassy blade | D |
| Had eer been bent by Trouble's feet and Love thy pillow made | D |
| - | |
| For Summer would be ever green though sloes were in their prime | E |
| And Winter smile his frowns to Spring in beauty's happy clime | E |
| And months would come and months would go and all in sunny mood | F |
| And everything inspired by thee grow beautifully good | G |
| - | |
| And there to make a cot unknown to any care and pain | H |
| And there to shut the door alone on singing wind and rain | H |
| Far far away from all the world more rude than rain or wind | I |
| Oh who could wish a sweeter home or better place to find | I |
| - | |
| Than thus to love and live with thee thou beautiful delight | J |
| Than thus to live and love with thee the summer day and night | J |
| The Earth itself where thou hadst rest would surely smile to see | K |
| Herself grow Eden once again possest of Love and thee | K |
