I Thought, My Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBCCDED FBFBBBGGHHH| I thought my Heart that you had healed | A |
| Of those sore smartings of the past | B |
| And that the summers had oversealed | B |
| All mark of them at last | B |
| But closely scanning in the night | B |
| I saw them standing crimson bright | B |
| Just as she made them | C |
| Nothing could fade them | C |
| Yea I can swear | D |
| That there they were | E |
| They still were there | D |
| - | |
| Then the Vision of her who cut them came | F |
| And looking over my shoulder said | B |
| I am sure you deal me all the blame | F |
| For those sharp smarts and red | B |
| But meet me dearest to morrow night | B |
| In the churchyard at the moon's half height | B |
| And so strange a kiss | G |
| Shall be mine I wis | G |
| That you'll cease to know | H |
| If the wounds you show | H |
| Be there or no | H |
