Leave Me, O Love Which Reachest But To Dust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFDD

Leave me O love which reachest but to dustA
And thou my mind aspire to higher thingsB
Grow rich in that which never taketh rustA
Whatever fades but fading pleasure bringsB
Draw in thy beams and humble all thy mightC
To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms beD
Which breaks the clouds and opens forth the lightC
That doth both shine and give us sight to seeD
O take fast hold let that light be thy guideE
In this small course which birth draws out to deathF
And think how evil becometh him to slideE
Who seeketh heaven and comes of heavenly breathF
Then farewell world thy uttermost I seeD
Eternal Love maintain thy life in meD

Sir Philip Sidney
