Stanzas To Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIJI AKAE LJLH AMAM| TELL ME LOVE when I rove o'er some far distant plain | A |
| Shall I cherish the passion that dwells in my breast | B |
| Or will ABSENCE subdue the keen rigours of pain | A |
| And the swift wing of TIME bring the balsam of rest | B |
| - | |
| Shall the image of HIM I was born to adore | C |
| Inshrin'd in my bosom my idol still prove | D |
| Or seduced by caprice shall fine feeling no more | C |
| With the incense of TRUTH gem the altar of LOVE | E |
| - | |
| When I view the deep tint of the dew dropping Rose | F |
| Where the bee sits enamour'd its nectar to sip | G |
| Then ah say will not memory fondly disclose | F |
| The softer vermilion that glow'd on HIS lip | G |
| - | |
| Will the SUN when he rolls in his chariot of fire | H |
| So dazzle my mind with the glare of his rays | I |
| That my senses one moment shall cease to admire | J |
| The more perfect refulgence that beam'd in HIS lays | I |
| - | |
| When the shadows of twilight steal over the plain | A |
| And the NIGHTINGALE pours its lorn plaint in the grove | K |
| Ah will not the fondness that thrills thro' the strain | A |
| Then recall to my mind HIS dear accents of Love | E |
| - | |
| When I gaze on the STARS that bespangle the sky | L |
| Ah will not their mildness some pity inspire | J |
| Like the soul touching softness that beam'd in HIS eye | L |
| When the tear of REGRET chill'd the flame of DESIRE | H |
| - | |
| Then spare thou dear Urchin thou soother of pain | A |
| Oh spare the sweet PICTURE engrav'd on my heart | M |
| As a record of LOVE let it ever remain | A |
| My bosom thy tablet thy pencil A DART | M |
