Response Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB AACD EEFF| When Phyllis sighs and from her eyes | A |
| The light dies out my soul replies | A |
| With misery of deep drawn breath | B |
| E'en as it were at war with death | B |
| - | |
| When Phyllis smiles her glance beguiles | A |
| My heart through love lit woodland aisles | A |
| And through the silence high and clear | C |
| A wooing warbler's song I hear | D |
| - | |
| But if she frown despair comes down | E |
| I put me on my sack cloth gown | E |
| So frown not Phyllis lest I die | F |
| But look on me with smile or sigh | F |
