The Faithful Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBCEFCFGFHGHIIB JBJ| All beauty is but thee in echo shapes | A |
| No lovely thing but echoes some of thee | B |
| Vainly some touch of thy perfection apes | A |
| Sighing as fair as thou thyself to be | B |
| Therefore be not disquieted that I | C |
| On other forms turn oft my wandering gaze | D |
| Nor deem it anywise disloyalty | B |
| Nay 'tis the pious fervour of my eye | C |
| That seeks thy face in every other face | E |
| As in the mirrored salon of a queen | F |
| Flashes from glass to glass as she walks by | C |
| In sweet reiteration still the queen | F |
| So is the world for thee to walk in sweet | G |
| But to see thee is all things to have seen | F |
| And as the moon in every crystal lake | H |
| Walking the heaven with little silver feet | G |
| Sees each bright copy her reflection take | H |
| And every dew drop holds its little glass | I |
| To catch her loveliness as she doth pass | I |
| So do all things make haste to copy thee | B |
| I then to see thee thus over and over | J |
| Am wistful too all lovely shapes to see | B |
| For each thus makes me more and more thy lover | J |
