Oh, Call It By Some Better Name Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGAHA| Oh call it by some better name | A |
| For Friendship sounds too cold | B |
| While Love is now a worldly flame | A |
| Whose shrine must be of gold | B |
| And Passion like the sun at noon | C |
| That burns o'er all he sees | D |
| Awhile as warm will set as soon | C |
| Then call it none of these | D |
| - | |
| Imagine something purer far | E |
| More free from stain of clay | F |
| Than Friendship Love or Passion are | E |
| Yet human still as they | F |
| And if thy lip for love like this | G |
| No mortal word can frame | A |
| Go ask of angels what it is | H |
| And call it by that name | A |
