Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGHIHJBelieve me if all those endearing young charms | A |
Which I gaze on so fondly to day | B |
Were to change by to morrow and fleet in my arms | A |
Live fairy gifts fading away | B |
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art | C |
Let thy loveliness fade as it will | D |
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart | C |
Would entwine itself verdantly still | D |
- | |
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own | E |
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear | F |
That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known | E |
To which time will but make thee more dear | G |
No the heart that has truly loved never forgets | H |
But as truly loves on to the close | I |
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets | H |
The same look which she turned when he rose | J |
