Leave Me, O Love Which Reachest But To Dust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFDDLeave me O love which reachest but to dust | A |
And thou my mind aspire to higher things | B |
Grow rich in that which never taketh rust | A |
Whatever fades but fading pleasure brings | B |
Draw in thy beams and humble all thy might | C |
To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be | D |
Which breaks the clouds and opens forth the light | C |
That doth both shine and give us sight to see | D |
O take fast hold let that light be thy guide | E |
In this small course which birth draws out to death | F |
And think how evil becometh him to slide | E |
Who seeketh heaven and comes of heavenly breath | F |
Then farewell world thy uttermost I see | D |
Eternal Love maintain thy life in me | D |
Sir Philip Sidney
