Oh, Could We Do With This World Of Ours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCDDB EEEBFFAB GGGHIIJH| Oh could we do with this world of ours | A |
| As thou dost with thy garden bowers | A |
| Reject the weeds and keep the flowers | A |
| What a heaven on earth we'd make it | B |
| So bright a dwelling should be our own | C |
| So warranted free from sigh or frown | D |
| That angels soon would be coming down | D |
| By the week or month to take it | B |
| - | |
| Like those gay flies that wing through air | E |
| And in themselves a lustre bear | E |
| A stock of light still ready there | E |
| Whenver they wish to use it | B |
| So in this world I'd make for thee | F |
| Our hearts should all like fire flies be | F |
| And the flash of wit or poesy | A |
| Break forth whenever we choose it | B |
| - | |
| While every joy that glads our sphere | G |
| Hath still some shadow hovering near | G |
| In this new world of ours my dear | G |
| Such shadows will all be omitted | H |
| Unless they're like that graceful one | I |
| Which when thou'rt dancing in the sun | I |
| Still near thee leaves a charm upon | J |
| Each spot where it hath flitted | H |
