Long-felt Desires Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFEDF| Long felt desires hopes as long as vain | A |
| sad sighs slow tears accustomed to run sad | B |
| into as many rivers as two eyes could add | B |
| pouring like fountains endless as the rain | A |
| cruelty beyond humanity a pain | A |
| so hard it makes compassionate stars go mad | B |
| with pity these are the first passions I've had | B |
| Do you think love could root in my soul again | C |
| If it arched the great bow back again at me | D |
| licked me again with fire and stabbed me deep | E |
| with the violent worst as awful as before | F |
| the wounds that cut me everwhere would keep | E |
| me shielded so there would be no place free | D |
| for love It covers me It can pierce no more | F |
