My Heart Is Sick With Longing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEFF| My heart is sick with longing tho' I feed | A |
| On hope Time goes with such a heavy pace | B |
| That neither brings nor takes from thy embrace | B |
| As if he slept forgetting his old speed | A |
| For as in sunshine only we can read | C |
| The march of minutes on the dial's face | B |
| So in the shadows of this lonely place | B |
| There is no love and Time is dead indeed | A |
| But when dear lady I am near thy heart | D |
| Thy smile is time and then so swift it flies | E |
| It seems we only meet to tear apart | D |
| With aching hands and lingering of eyes | E |
| Alas alas that we must learn hours' flight | F |
| By the same light of love that makes them bright | F |
