Tis Sweet To Think Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEABCB FGFGHIHIABCB| Tis sweet to think that where'er we rove | A |
| We are sure to find something blissful and dear | B |
| And that when we're far from the lips that we love | C |
| We've but to make love to the lips we are near | B |
| The heart like a tendril accustom'd to cling | D |
| Let it grow where it will cannot flourish alone | E |
| But will lean to the nearest and loveliest thing | D |
| It can twine with itself and make closely its own | E |
| Then oh what pleasure where'er we rove | A |
| To be sure to find something still that is dear | B |
| And to know when far from the lips we love | C |
| We've but to make love to the lips we are near | B |
| - | |
| 'Twere a shame when flowers around us rise | F |
| To make light of the rest if the rose isn't there | G |
| And the world's so rich in resplendent eyes | F |
| 'Twere a pity to limit one's love to a pair | G |
| Love's wing and the peacock's are nearly alike | H |
| They are both of them bright but the're changeable too | I |
| And wherever a new beam of beauty can strike | H |
| It will tincture Love's plume with a different hue | I |
| Then oh what pleasure where'er we rove | A |
| To be sure to find something still that is dear | B |
| And to know when far from the lips we love | C |
| We've but to make love to the lips we are near | B |
