Then I Would Love You Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGFHH ABIBJKLMNOHH| Were you to come | A |
| With your clear gray eyes | B |
| As calmly placid as in summer's heat | C |
| At noontide lie the sultry skies | B |
| With your dark brown hair | D |
| As smoothly quiet as the leaves | E |
| When stirs no cooling breath of air | D |
| And shorn of smile your full red lips | F |
| Prest firmly close as the chaliced bud | G |
| Before the nectar quaffing bee ere sips | F |
| I would not know you | H |
| I would not love you | H |
| - | |
| But should you come | A |
| With your love bright eyes | B |
| Dancing gaily as on summer's eve | I |
| The stars adown the Western skies | B |
| With your hair wind caught | J |
| And circled round your shining face | K |
| In fashion which no hand ere wrought | L |
| And your full red lips poised saucily | M |
| As the slender moon midst an hundred stars | N |
| And held aloof in daring taunt to me | O |
| Then I would know you | H |
| Then I would love you | H |
