To Manon, On His Fortune In Loving Her Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEDEFGHIGJ| I did not choose thee dearest It was Love | A |
| That made the choice not I Mine eyes were blind | B |
| As a rude shepherd's who to some lone grove | C |
| His offering brings and cares not at what shrine | D |
| He bends his knee The gifts alone were mine | D |
| The rest was Love's He took me by the hand | E |
| And fired the sacrifice and poured the wine | D |
| And spoke the words I might not understand | E |
| I was unwise in all but the dear chance | F |
| Which was my fortune and the blind desire | G |
| Which led my foolish steps to Love's abode | H |
| And youth's sublime unreason'd prescience | I |
| Which raised an altar and inscribed in fire | G |
| Its dedication To the Unknown God | J |
