Break Of Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GHIIJJ| 'Tis true 'tis day what though it be | A |
| O wilt thou therefore rise from me | A |
| Why should we rise because 'tis light | B |
| Did we lie down because 'twas night | B |
| Love which in spite of darkness brought us hither | C |
| Should in despite of light keep us together | C |
| - | |
| Light hath no tongue but is all eye | D |
| If it could speak as well as spy | D |
| This were the worst that it could say | E |
| That being well I fain would stay | E |
| And that I lov'd my heart and honor so | F |
| That I would not from him that had them go | F |
| - | |
| Must business thee from hence remove | G |
| Oh that's the worst disease of love | H |
| The poor the foul the false love can | I |
| Admit but not the busied man | I |
| He which hath business and makes love doth do | J |
| Such wrong as when a married man doth woo | J |
