Tears Are Tongues Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEE| When Julia chid I stood as mute the while | A |
| As is the fish or tongueless crocodile | A |
| Air coin'd to words my Julia could not hear | B |
| But she could see each eye to stamp a tear | C |
| By which mine angry mistress might descry | C |
| Tears are the noble language of the eye | D |
| And when true love of words is destitute | E |
| The eyes by tears speak while the tongue is mute | E |
Robert Herrick
