Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| A life was mine full of the close concern | A |
| Of many voiced affairs The world sped fast | B |
| Behind me ever rolled a pregnant past | B |
| A present came equipped with lore to learn | A |
| Art science letters in their turn | A |
| Each one allured me with its treasures vast | B |
| And I staked all for wisdom till at last | B |
| Thou cam'st and taught my soul anew to yearn | A |
| I had not dreamed that I could turn away | C |
| From all that men with brush and pen had wrought | D |
| But ever since that memorable day | C |
| When to my heart the truth of love was brought | D |
| I have been wholly yielded to its sway | C |
| And had no room for any other thought | D |
