For Love I, Too, Could Die (she Said) Nor Fear It, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDEFEFGG| Such love as some of the dead queens have had | A |
| Whose sorrow matched their beauty I could bear it | B |
| And I think die too to have been so glad | A |
| With the sweet wonder in a great light lying | C |
| I would not e'en upbraid the deadly dart | D |
| But gazing in the eyes of my Love dying | C |
| Passion my beauty in his aching heart | D |
| Beyond the shadow of my own renewal | E |
| So to have set my beauty like a flame | F |
| Quivering as Helen's ah that Trojan jewel | E |
| Where all love's pride and sorrow has a name | F |
| I too would take time's grandeur to the dust | G |
| And haply in Hades smile as lovers must | G |
