Love Is Blind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ KKII| And can you tell me Love is blind | A |
| Because your faults he will not find | A |
| Because the image that he sees | B |
| Is one of splendid mysteries | B |
| And if he lack the power to look | C |
| On what he will as on a book | C |
| And read therein the heart of it | D |
| Why are his ways with wonder lit | D |
| Why think you he should bind his eyes | E |
| And hide the many tinted skies | E |
| But that he sees too well to trust | F |
| The shadows on an orb of dust | F |
| For he hath vision keener far | G |
| Than poring Thought's and Fancy's are | G |
| An inward vision full and clear | H |
| When night has flung her mantle sheer | H |
| Across the world we stumble through | I |
| In search of Truth's evasive clue | I |
| He looks and straight there fall away | J |
| The flutt'ring rags of your array | J |
| The far fet gem th' indecent drape | K |
| The pads that mar the perfect shape | K |
| And naked to his reverent view | I |
| Is beauty's self essential you | I |
