Heart's-ease Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBB CDDCDCAs opiates to the sick on wakeful nights | A |
As light to flowers as flowers in poor men's rooms | B |
As to the fisher when the tempest glooms | B |
The cheerful twinkling of his village lights | B |
As emerald isles to flagging swallow flights | B |
As roses garlanding with tendrilled blooms | B |
The unweeded hillocks of forgotten tombs | B |
As singing birds on cypress shadowed heights | B |
- | |
Thou art to me a comfort past compare | C |
For thy joy kindling presence sweet as May | D |
Sets all my nerves to music makes away | D |
With sorrow and the numbing frost of care | C |
Until the influence of thine eyes' bright sway | D |
Has made life's glass go up from foul to fair | C |
