Thee, Thee, Only Thee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDCEB FFBGHGHB AABIFIFBThe dawning of morn the daylight's sinking | A |
The night's long hours still find me thinking | A |
Of thee thee only thee | B |
When friends are met and goblets crown'd | C |
And smiles are near that once enchanted | D |
Unreach'd by all that sunshine round | C |
My soul like some dark spot is haunted | E |
By thee thee only thee | B |
- | |
Whatever in fame's high path could waken | F |
My spirit once is now forsaken | F |
For thee thee only thee | B |
Like shores by which some headlong bark | G |
To the ocean hurries resting never | H |
Life's scenes go by me bright or dark | G |
I know not heed not hastening ever | H |
To thee thee only thee | B |
- | |
I have not a joy but of thy bringing | A |
And pain itself seems sweet when springing | A |
From thee thee only thee | B |
Like spells that nought on earth can break | I |
Till lips that know the charm have spoken | F |
This heart howe'er the world may wake | I |
Its grief its scorn can but be broken | F |
By thee thee only thee | B |
