Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGH IJIJAA

My silks and fine arrayA
My smiles and languish'd airB
By Love are driven awayA
And mournful lean DespairB
Brings me yew to deck my graveC
Such end true lovers haveD
-
His face is fair as heavenE
When springing buds unfoldF
O why to him was 't givenE
Whose heart is wintry coldF
His breast is Love's all worshipp'd tombG
Where all Love's pilgrims comeH
-
Bring me an axe and spadeI
Bring me a winding sheetJ
When I my grave have madeI
Let winds and tempests beatJ
Then down I'll lie as cold as clayA
True love doth pass awayA

William Blake
