The Good-morrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDD EFEGHIJKLKLDAA| I wonder by my troth what thou and I | A |
| Did till we loved were we not weaned till then | B |
| But sucked on country pleasures childishly | C |
| Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den | B |
| 'Twas so but this all pleasures fancies be | D |
| If ever any beauty I did see | D |
| Which I desired and got 'twas but a dream of thee | D |
| - | |
| And now good morrow to our waking souls | E |
| Which watch not one another out of fear | F |
| For love all love of other sights controls | E |
| And makes one little room an everywhere | G |
| Let sea discovers to new worlds have gone | H |
| Let maps to others worlds on worlds have shown | I |
| Let us possess one world each hath one and is one | J |
| My face in thine eye thine in mine appears | K |
| And true plain hearts do in the faces rest | L |
| Where can we find two better hemishperes | K |
| Without sharp North without declining West | L |
| Whatever dies was not mixed equally | D |
| If our two loves be one or thou and I | A |
| Love so alike that none do slacken none can die | A |
