Youth And Knowledge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABCDEFDEF| What price child shall I pay for your bright eyes | A |
| How large a debt the light they shed on me | B |
| What for your cheeks so red in their surprise | A |
| Your lips your hands your maiden gestures free | B |
| Your fair brows crowned with grave nobility | B |
| All the delight which in your presence lies | A |
| The words unsaid the deeds which dare not be | B |
| The dreams undreamed my meed of Paradise | C |
| Nay I can pay naught your poor bankrupt I | D |
| Since gold may not nor frankincense nor myrrh | E |
| Serve my account nor any gift of kings | F |
| Yet be my wealth yours joys that fools deny | D |
| Knowledge of life love power as presbyter | E |
| The wit to teach youth's zeal to use its wings | F |
