Devotion I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC CCCC CBBC EFFE

FOLLOW thy fair sun unhappy shadowA
nbsp nbsp nbsp Though thou be black as nightB
nbsp nbsp nbsp And she made all of lightB
Yet follow thy fair sun unhappy shadowA
-
Follow her whose light thy light deprivethC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Though here thou liv'st disgracedD
nbsp nbsp nbsp And she in heaven is placedD
Yet follow her whose light the world revivethC
-
Follow those pure beams whose beauty burnethC
nbsp nbsp nbsp That so have scorched theeC
nbsp nbsp nbsp As thou still black must beC
Till her kind beams thy black so brightness turnethC
-
Follow her while yet her glory shinethC
nbsp nbsp nbsp There comes a luckless nightB
nbsp nbsp nbsp That will dim all her lightB
And this the black unhappy shade divinethC
-
Follow still since so thy fates ordainedE
nbsp nbsp nbsp The sun must have his shadeF
nbsp nbsp nbsp Till both at once do fadeF
The sun still proud the shadow still disdainedE
