Lovers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCC DEDEEFF GHGHHII| Why should I ask perfection of thee sweet | A |
| That have so little of mine own to bring | B |
| That thou art beautiful from head to feet | A |
| Is that beloved such a little thing | B |
| That I should ask more of thee and should fling | B |
| Thy largesse from me in a world like this | C |
| O generous giver of thy perfect kiss | C |
| - | |
| Thou gavest me thy lips thine eyes thine hair | D |
| I brought thee worship was it not thy due | E |
| If thou art cruel still art thou not fair | D |
| Roses thou gavest shalt thou not bring rue | E |
| Alas have I not brought thee sorrow too | E |
| How dare I face the future and its drouth | F |
| Missing that golden honeycomb thy mouth | F |
| - | |
| Kiss and make up 'tis the wise ancient way | G |
| Back to my arms O bountiful deep breast | H |
| No more of words that know not what they say | G |
| To kiss is wisdom folly all the rest | H |
| Dear loveliness so mercifully pressed | H |
| Against my heart I shake with sudden fear | I |
| To think to losing thee I came so near | I |
