On Her Lightheartedness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBADEFDEF| I WOULD I had thy courage dear to face | A |
| This bankruptcy of love and greet despair | B |
| With smiling eyes and unconcerned embrace | A |
| And these few words of banter at dull care | B |
| I would that I could sing and comb my hair | B |
| Like thee the morning through and choose my dress | C |
| And gravely argue what I best should wear | B |
| A shade of ribbon or a fold of lace | A |
| I would I had thy courage and thy peace | D |
| Peace passing understanding that mine eyes | E |
| Could find forgetfulness like thine in sleep | F |
| That all the past for me like thee could cease | D |
| And leave me cheerfully sublimely wise | E |
| Like David with washed face who ceased to weep | F |
