Strange Is The Path When You Offer Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAD AEFGHIJKLMNOHHP JQR

Do not mention the name of loveA
O my simple minded companionB
Strange is the pathC
When you offer your loveA
Your body is crushed at the first stepD
-
If you want to offer loveA
Be prepared to cut off your headE
And sit on itF
Be like the mothG
Which circles the lamp and offers its bodyH
Be like the deer which on hearing the hornI
Offers its head to the hunterJ
Be like the partridgeK
Which swallows burning coalsL
In love of the moonM
Be like the fishN
Which yields up its lifeO
When separated from the seaH
Be like the beeH
Entrapped in the closing petals of the lotusP
-
Mira's lord is the courtly GiridharaJ
She says Offer your mindQ
To those lotus feetR
