Thy Beauty Fades Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Thy beauty fades and with it too my love | A |
| For 'twas the self same stalk that bore its flower | B |
| Soft fell the rain and breaking from above | A |
| The sun looked out upon our nuptial hour | B |
| And I had thought forever by thy side | C |
| With bursting buds of hope in youth to dwell | D |
| But one by one Time strewed thy petals wide | C |
| And every hope's wan look a grief can tell | D |
| For I had thoughtless lived beneath his sway | E |
| Who like a tyrant dealeth with us all | F |
| Crowning each rose though rooted on decay | E |
| With charms that shall the spirit's love enthral | F |
| And for a season turn the soul's pure eyes | G |
| From virtue's changeless bloom that time and death defies | G |
