Son, Thou Must Love Me! See' My Saviour Said Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBB BBBB CBB CDD

Son thou must love me See my Saviour saidA
My heart that glows and bleeds my wounded sideB
My hurt feet that the Magdalene wet eyedB
Clasps kneeling and my tortured arms outspreadB
-
To bear thy sins Look on the cross stained redB
The nails the sponge that all thy soul shall guideB
To love on earth where flesh thrones in its prideB
My Body and Blood alone thy Wine and BreadB
-
Have I not loved thee even unto deathC
O brother mine son in the Holy GhostB
Have I not suffered as was writ I mustB
-
And with thine agony sobbed out my breathC
Hath not thy nightly sweat bedewed my browD
O lamentable friend that seek'st me nowD

Paul Verlaine
