Love And The Novice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCA DEDEFFF GFGFHHH| Here we dwell in holiest bowers | A |
| Where angels of light o'er our orisans bend | B |
| Where sighs of devotion and breathings of flowers | A |
| To heaven in mingled odour ascend | B |
| Do not disturb our calm oh Love | C |
| So like is thy form to the cherubs above | C |
| It well might deceive such hearts as ours | A |

| Love stood near the Novice and listen'd | D |
| And Love is no novice in taking a hint | E |
| His laughing blue eyes soon with piety glisten'd | D |
| His rosy wing turn'd to heaven's own tint | E |
| Who would have thought the urchin cries | F |
| That Love could so well so gravely disguise | F |
| His wandering wings and wounding eyes | F |
| - | |
| Love now warms thee waking and sleeping | G |
| Young Novice to him all thy orisons rise | F |
| He tinges the heavenly fount with his weeping | G |
| He brightens the censer's flame with his sighs | F |
| Love is the Saint enshrined in thy breast | H |
| And angels themselves would admit such a guest | H |
| If he came to them clothed in Piety's vest | H |
