Love, Dearest Lady, Such As I Would Speak Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFEDD| Love dearest Lady such as I would speak | A |
| Lives not within the humor of the eye | B |
| Not being but an outward phantasy | C |
| That skims the surface of a tinted cheek | A |
| Else it would wane with beauty and grow weak | A |
| As if the rose made summer and so lie | B |
| Amongst the perishable things that die | B |
| Unlike the love which I would give and seek | A |
| Whose health is of no hue to feel decay | D |
| With cheeks' decay that have a rosy prime | E |
| Love is its own great loveliness alway | F |
| And takes new lustre from the touch of time | E |
| Its bough owns no December and no May | D |
| But bears its blossom into Winter's clime | D |
