Early Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DADACACA EFEFGHGH IJIKCLCM| The Spring of life is o'er with me | A |
| And love and all gone by | B |
| Like broken bough upon yon tree | A |
| I'm left to fade and die | B |
| Stern ruin seized my home and me | A |
| And desolate's my cot | C |
| Ruins of halls the blasted tree | A |
| Are emblems of my lot | C |
| - | |
| I lived and loved I woo'd and won | D |
| Her love was all to me | A |
| But blight fell o'er that youthful one | D |
| And like a blasted tree | A |
| I withered till I all forgot | C |
| But Mary's smile on me | A |
| She never lived where love was not | C |
| And I from bonds was free | A |
| - | |
| The Spring it clothed the fields with pride | E |
| When first we met together | F |
| And then unknown to all beside | E |
| We loved in sunny weather | F |
| We met where oaks grew overhead | G |
| And whitethorns hung with may | H |
| Wild thyme beneath her feet was spread | G |
| And cows in quiet lay | H |
| - | |
| I thought her face was sweeter far | I |
| Than aught I'd seen before | J |
| As simple as the cowslips are | I |
| Upon the rushy moor | K |
| She seemed the muse of that sweet spot | C |
| The lady of the plain | L |
| And all was dull where she was not | C |
| Till we met there again | M |
